Luxair, the flag carrier of the Grand Duchy of Luxembourg, has signed a firm order with Embraer for two E195-E2 aircraft. These small narrow-body planes will complement the larger narrow-body aircraft the airline has already ordered.
By exercising two options secured in its 2023 firm order for four E195-E2 aircraft, the airline now has a total of six E195-E2s on order. Additionally, three purchase rights remain, which include conversion rights to the E190-E2, if required. The first aircraft from Luxair's 2023 order is scheduled for delivery in early 2026, while the new order guarantees additional delivery slots in 2027.
“The E195-E2 is a critical investment in Luxair's future, enabling us to balance growth with our commitment to a greener and quieter future. Starting in 2026, these aircraft will mark the beginning of a new era for Luxair, bringing quieter operations, superior fuel efficiency, and unmatched passenger comfort to our customers. With a focus on a remarkably quiet interior cabin and low noise emissions, the E195-E2 aligns perfectly with our vision for a more sustainable, efficient, and customer-focused regional airline,” said Gilles Feith, CEO of Luxair.
Luxair's E195-E2 will be configured in a comfortable single-class layout with 136 seats in Embraer's signature two-by-two arrangement, eliminating the need for middle seats. The airline has selected the popular Recaro seating, now offered as supplier furnished equipment (SFE).
