Overview
- Air Côte d’Ivoire placed a firm order for four Embraer E175s and secured purchase rights for eight additional aircraft, with the deal logged in Embraer’s Q4 2025 backlog.
- The E175s will be configured with 76 seats across two classes, including 12 in Business Class and 64 in Economy.
- The carrier plans to deploy the jets on domestic and regional routes to boost frequencies through Abidjan and feed recently launched long‑haul service to Paris Charles de Gaulle.
- Air Côte d’Ivoire chose the type for higher speed, longer range, larger cargo capacity, improved passenger comfort and better operating economics compared with turboprops.
- Embraer highlighted its leadership in Africa’s up‑to‑150‑seat segment, citing 250 aircraft in service with 56 operators and a 31% market share on the continent.
