Avelo Orders 50 Embraer E195-E2s, Becoming First U.S. Operator With Deliveries Starting in 2027

The order gives Embraer its first U.S. E2 customer by positioning Avelo to expand into smaller markets using the jet’s short‑field capability.

Overview

  • Avelo placed a firm order for 50 E195‑E2s with purchase rights for 50 more, a deal valued at $4.4 billion at list prices.
  • First aircraft arrive in the first half of 2027, and Avelo says it plans to take E2s through 2032.
  • The E195‑E2s will join Avelo’s 22 Boeing 737NGs as a dual fleet, with the airline planning to phase out its 737‑700s over time while keeping 737‑800s.
  • Avelo cites the E2’s Enhanced Takeoff System, fuel efficiency, low noise, 2×2 seating, and roughly 140-seat layout as enablers for right‑sized service at constrained airports.
  • The announcement follows Avelo’s largest post‑launch funding round, and reporting indicates Embraer is providing debt financing for pre‑delivery payments.
