Scandinavian Airlines (SAS) has entered into an agreement to acquire 45 E-195E2 aircraft, with purchase rights for an additional 10 aircraft — the largest SAS jet order direct from a manufacturer since 1996. This milestone agreement supports carrier’s long-term fleet renewal strategy, which is focused on increasing efficiency, reducing emissions, and unlocking future growth opportunities from its global hub in Copenhagen as well as across its Scandinavian and international network.

The first aircraft deliveries from Embraer are scheduled to begin in late 2027, with further ones extending over approximately four years. Excluding purchase rights, the value for the order is approximately US$4 billion.

The E-195-E2 will play a vital role in optimizing SAS’ operations and enhancing connectivity across Scandinavia and Europe. 

The E2 family of aircraft has already been tested with 100% Sustainable Aviation Fuel (SAF) and is in the process of being fully certified to fly on 100% SAF in the foreseeable future. Today blends of up to 50% SAF are already achievable.
