Embraer Reaches 2,000th E‑Jets Delivery as ANA Expands E190‑E2 Order

Overview

• The 2,000th E‑Jets delivery, completed Sept. 2 in São José dos Campos, was handed to Azul as a commemorative aircraft and marks a production run that began in 2004.
• ANA Holdings expanded its firm E190‑E2 order by eight jets to 23 with options for five more, a deal that Embraer says will support ANA’s plan to grow regional routes and whose first E2 is due in 2028.
• Embraer reported strong recent performance including 65 Q2 deliveries and a US$34.5 billion backlog with 465 commercial jets pending, and it reiterated guidance to deliver 240–250 aircraft in 2026.
• The company warns that supplier component constraints continue to complicate production timing but says it expects to manage those supply issues to meet the 2026 delivery plan.
• Operators and officials cite the E‑Jets E2’s fuel efficiency, lower emissions and reduced noise as drivers of new city‑pair services and regional connectivity that could benefit smaller airports and passengers.
