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.
