LATAM Orders Up to 74 Embraer E195-E2 Jets for Regional Growth

The move introduces regional jets to LATAM’s fleet under its financial policy, targeting right-sized growth from 2026.

Overview

  • LATAM’s agreement covers 24 firm E195-E2s with 50 purchase options, with the firm tranche valued at about $2.1 billion at list prices.
  • Deliveries begin in the second half of 2026, with LATAM Airlines Brasil set as the initial operator before potential deployment to other affiliates.
  • LATAM projects the jets could enable up to 35 additional destinations across a network that has grown to roughly 160 since 2021.
  • The E195-E2 offers a 2-2 cabin with no middle seats and up to 30% lower fuel burn per seat versus prior-generation models, powered by Pratt & Whitney GTF engines.
  • The deal marks LATAM’s return to regional jet operations since the LAN–TAM merger and adds momentum to Embraer’s E2 program.
