Finnair has signed an agreement for up to 46 Embraer E195-E2 aircraft, including 18 firm orders, 16 options and 12 purchase rights. The E195-E2s will replace the airline’s older aircraft, underpinning its strategy for profitable growth.
Chosen for its superior efficiency, reliability and passenger appeal, the E195-E2 is the quietest single-aisle jet currently available and up to 35% more fuel-efficient than the previous-generation E190s operated by Finnair. With the quietest cabin in its class and a comfortable layout featuring no middle seats, the aircraft supports Finnair’s climate targets while enhancing the customer experience.
“This is one of the largest investments in Finnair’s 102-year history and a vital step in our strategy. The Embraer E2 will enable us to strengthen our European network and capture market growth opportunities, while improving our competitiveness through reliability, versatility and a high level of customer comfort. Importantly, this investment will also reduce our CO₂ footprint, advancing our climate targets,” said Finnair CEO Turkka Kuusisto.
Deliveries of the 134-seat aircraft are scheduled to begin in the second half of 2027.
