Luxair signs firm order for four Embraer E195-E2 jets

Luxair, the official airline of the Grand Duchy of Luxembourg, has confirmed an order for four E195-E2 jets from Embraer. These aircraft will serve as a valuable addition to Luxair’s recent procurement of larger narrow-body planes.

The order encompasses four E195-E2s, accompanied by two additional options and three purchase rights for potential future acquisitions. The conversion capability to E190-E2 aircraft is also part of the package, allowing for flexibility as needed. The first E195-E2 is expected to be delivered in the fourth quarter of 2025.

Gilles Feith, CEO of Luxair, emphasised the airline’s ongoing commitment to advancing and securing its long-term success. He pointed out that these state-of-the-art aircraft underline the airline’s dedication to sustainability and passenger well-being. Notably, the E195-E2 stands out in the regional aircraft market for its exceptional qualities, boasting the lowest levels of noise and fuel consumption. Its spacious and tranquil cabin, along with ample overhead storage, will significantly enhance the travel experience for Luxair passengers. In summary, the E195-E2 perfectly aligns with the carrier’s objectives and the needs of its passengers.

Martyn Holmes, CCO of Embraer Commercial Aviation, welcomed Luxair back into the Embraer family, highlighting its past collaboration involving ERJ-145 and Emb-120 aircraft. He underscored the E2’s suitability for the airline’s operations and ambitions, serving as an ideal complement to their existing and forthcoming fleet. This strategic move ensures the highest level of fleet and network optimisation for the carrier in the long run. The E2’s unique attributes, such as its cutting-edge technology, reduced noise levels, and environmental responsibility, empower airlines to pursue both growth and sustainability goals simultaneously.
