Expanding Connections With 24 Firm Deliveries And 50 Options
LATAM Airlines Group, along with its affiliates, announced a purchase agreement with Embraer for up to 74 E195-E2 narrowbody airliners to support its expansion plans across South America. The order is for 24 firm deliveries with options to purchase an additional 50 aircraft. The firm deliveries will begin in the second half of 2026, initially for LATAM Airlines Brazil, with others coming later.
LATAM Group with this initiative intends to strengthen its domestic and regional operations, and these new additions to its fleet will enhance flexibility across the group’s hubs by adding destinations and expand options for its travelers.
The new investment in its fleet comports with the company’s metrics within its financial policy as outlined in a recent earnings release.
Roberto Alvo, CEO of LATAM Airlines Group said, “Over the past four years, LATAM group has focused on expanding its domestic and regional network, creating the most comprehensive and seamless way of travelling within South America.
“LATAM group’s decision is based on the excellent economics and versatility of the Embraer E195-E2, which will allow us to continue on our path of profitable growth by enhancing that connectivity through the opening of new destinations, allowing our passengers to have even more options and bringing communities closer, boosting also economic and social development.”
Francisco Gomes Neto, President and CEO of Embraer said, “This strategic partnership with LATAM group reflects the airline’s requirement for the most efficient and best-suited aircraft to complement its fleet and support its next chapter of growth in South America. The E195-E2 will allow LATAM affiliates to connect more destinations with the right capacity, while offering passengers superior comfort. We are extremely proud that the LATAM group has made the best choice to advance the region’s connectivity and for the future we will build together.”
