Mexicana, Mexico's state-owned airline, has taken delivery of its first E195-E2 aircraft from Embraer, marking an important step forward in the airline's fleet modernisation and highlighting the increasing presence of E2 jets in Latin America.
This delivery is the first of a total 20 new-generation E2 jets ordered by Mexicana, consisting of ten E190-E2 and ten E195-E2 aircraft. The order, announced in 2024, represents a strategic move by Mexicana to improve connectivity and enhance operational efficiency.
Leobardo Bojórquez, CEO of Mexicana, commented: “This delivery marks a new chapter for Mexicana. The E2's performance, economics, and passenger appeal make it the perfect aircraft to support our growth strategy. We are excited to bring this new level of service and efficiency to our customers.”
The E2 jets will feature a single-class configuration with a modern and spacious cabin design, notably with no middle seats, improving passenger comfort. The E195-E2 benefits from advanced aerodynamics, next-generation engines, and refined systems, resulting in a 29% reduction in fuel consumption compared to previous-generation models. Part of Embraer's E-Jets E2 family, these aircraft are known for their quiet operation, lower emissions and excellent economics. Equipped with full fly-by-wire technology, they also reduce pilot workload and enhance flight safety.
Mexicana's new fleet will be backed by Embraer's comprehensive Services & Support network, ensuring high availability and reliability from the outset.
