Air Côte d’Ivoire, the national airline of Côte d’Ivoire, has placed a firm order for four Embraer E175 aircraft, with options for eight more. The jets will feature 76 seats across two classes—12 in Business- and 64 in Economy Class —to deliver a smooth and efficient onboard experience.
The first E175 is due in the first half of 2027, and the order will appear in Embraer’s Q4 2025 backlog. The airline will operate the aircraft on domestic and regional routes as it refreshes its fleet and widens its network. Chosen for its longer range, faster performance and improved comfort over turboprops, the E175 will also support cargo needs and sharpen operational efficiency.
These aircraft will help feed Air Côte d’Ivoire’s Abidjan hub, raise frequencies and tighten regional links. The move follows the airline’s new long-haul service to Paris Charles de Gaulle, with the E175 set to improve onward connectivity through the hub.
Meanwhile, Swiss carrier Helvetic Airways has ordered three Embraer E195-E2 jets, with rights for five more. Deliveries start at the end of 2026. Each aircraft will offer 134 Recaro-equipped seats in a single-class cabin designed for comfort and streamlined operations.
The order positions Helvetic Airways to expand its E2 fleet from 12 to as many as 20 aircraft, reinforcing its role as a prominent European operator of Embraer’s latest-generation E-Jets.
