E195 E2 Mexicana 3000x1688 e41ba9dd bdaa 4b60 9a39 ea07f5b6c09a
PR: Mexicana de Aviación, Mexico’s state-owned carrier, ordered 20 Embraer E2 aircraft. The deal is for 10 E190-E2 and 10 E195-E2 jets. Deliveries begin in 2Q25. Mexicana will configure the E190-E2 with 108 seats and the E195-E2 with 132 seats—both in a single-class layout.
Mexicana will be the first E2 operator in Mexico, benefitting from the E2’s low operating costs and fuel efficiency, highlighting Mexicana and Embraer’s commitment to sustainability and improving the efficiency of aviation.
With this strategic decision the Mexican state airline will grow and modernize its fleet, strengthening domestic and international connectivity to offer affordable and comfortable air travel, with the highest standards of safety and service.
Priscilla Doro Solymossy, VP Sales and Marketing, Head of Latin America and the Caribbean, Embraer Commercial Aviation, said, “We welcome Mexicana to the E2 family, the first E2 operator in Mexico. Seeing the success and rapid growth Mexicana has achieved since it restarted operations in December 2023 has been remarkable. The airline is already flying to 18 destinations, and has transported more than 115,000 passengers, accumulating more than 3,280 flight hours in this short period, reflecting Mexicana’s commitment to operational excellence and customer service.”

- Another win for Embraer’s E2.
- We have previously expressed concerns about this airline: March 2024, August 2023.
- Meanwhile, Mexico’s air traffic sector is strong and keeps growing at a healthy rate
- While the airline might be a concern, a growing E2 footprint only helps Embraer
