Embraer (NYSE: EMBJ / B3: EMBJ3) and ANA Holdings Inc. (ANA HD) today announced the signing of an agreement for eight E190-E2 aircraft, formalising ANA HD's decision unveiled on July 29, 2026, to expand its fleet. This deal builds on the airline’s original purchase contract for 15 E190-E2 firm aircraft, announced in 2025, and will increase ANA HD’s total firm orders for E2 aircraft to twenty-three. ANAHD still holds five additional options for E190-E2 aircraft.
"This additional E190-E2 order accelerates our efforts to build a sustainable regional aviation network in Japan," said Koji Shibata, President and CEO of ANA Holdings. "It also underscores our confidence in Embraer’s technology to reduce both environmental impact and operating costs. We are excited to deepen our partnership, elevating regional connectivity and delivering a superior passenger experience across Japan."
“We are honoured by ANA HD’s continued confidence in Embraer E2 small narrowbody aircraft and look forward to supporting the airline’s growth plans in Japan,” said Arjan Meijer, President & CEO, Embraer Commercial Aviation. “With its exceptional economics and fuel efficiency, the E2 will support expanded connectivity across Japan along with better comfort and space for passengers.”
The E190-E2 is part of Embraer’s advanced E-Jets E2 family, recognised for its fuel efficiency, lower emissions, reduced noise levels, and exceptional passenger experience. The aircraft’s versatility allows airlines to efficiently serve both existing and new markets while delivering significant operational and environmental benefits.
Embraer E-Jets have been operating in Japan since 2009 and are supported by Embraer personnel in the country. ANA HD’s first E2 aircraft is scheduled for delivery in 2028.
