Avelo Airlines has placed a firm order for 50 E-195E2 aircraft, with purchase rights for 50 more, supporting the airline’s strategy to the United States. Aircraft deliveries are expected to begin in the first half of 2027. The list-price value of the order is US$4.4 billion, excluding purchase rights.

It will be the first US carrier to operate Embraer’s commercial aircraft, making this a significant milestone for Embraer’s flagship E2 program. The E-195E2s will modernize Avelo’s fleet, complementing its B-737NGs for the  future.

The E2’s short-field performance is a key capability that will open new markets for Avelo and drive efficiency in many of its existing airports. 

Since taking flight on April 28, 2021, Avelo has flown nearly eight million Customers on more than 62,000 flights on its fleet of 22 Boeing Next Generation 737 aircraft. Today it serves 47 cities spanning 18 States and Puerto Rico, as well as three international destinations: Jamaica, Mexico, and the Dominican Republic.
