INNSBRUCK, Austria, Oct. 11,
2023 /PRNewswire/ -- ERA General
Assembly – Embraer (B3: EMBR3, NYSE: ERJ) and Luxair, flag
carrier of the Grand Duchy of Luxembourg, have signed a firm order for four
E195-E2; the most efficient regional aircraft in the single aisle
segment. The aircraft will complement the larger narrowbody
aircraft recently ordered by the airline.
Luxair has ordered four E195-E2s, with two options and three
purchase rights for more aircraft, with conversion rights to
E190-E2 as required. The first aircraft delivery is scheduled for
Q4 2025.
"We continue to develop our airline and secure its long term
future. These cutting edge aircraft are additional proof of our
commitment to sustainability and passenger comfort. The E195-E2 has
both the lowest noise and fuel burn in the regional aircraft market
and will provide needed flexibility in our network. Our passengers
will benefit from the spacious and quiet cabin and big overhead
hand-luggage bins. The E195-E2 is a great fit for Luxair and our
passengers," said Gilles Feith,
Luxair CEO.
Martyn Holmes, CCO, Embraer
Commercial Aviation, said, "It's great to welcome Luxair back to
the Embraer Family; in the past Luxair has operated ERJ-145 and
Emb-120. The E2 is perfectly suited to Luxair's operations and
ambitions, closely complementing Luxair's existing and on-order
fleet, ensuring the maximum level of fleet and network optimization
to the airline for the long-term. The E2's special power is that
its new technology, low noise and environmental footprint, make it
possible for airlines to manage both their growth and
sustainability goals."
