The jets will replace Q400 turboprops to feed regional growth from Abidjan.

Overview

  • The deal was announced on November 17 at the Dubai Airshow and will be added to Embraer’s Q4 2025 backlog.
  • Each E175 will have 76 seats in a two-class layout with 12 in business and 64 in economy.
  • Deliveries are scheduled to begin in the first half of 2027.
