All Nippon Airways, Japan’s largest airline operating as ANA Holdings, has ordered 15 E190-E2s aircraft from Brazilian multinational aerospace corporation Embraer with options for an additional five aircraft.
According to a press statement by ANA, the selection of the E190-E2 is part of ANA’s fleet renewal plan. The economics and efficiency of the aircraft will enable the airline to enhance nationwide connectivity while providing improved space and comfort for passengers. Deliveries of the E190-E2 aircraft to ANA are expected to commence in 2028.
“We are honoured that Embraer’s E190-E2 small narrowbody aircraft will join ANA’s fleet and we look forward to the delivery of the first aircraft in 2028. The E190-E2 is the quietest and most fuel-efficient aircraft available, whose size perfectly complements ANA’s fleet of larger narrowbodies. Furthermore, the E2’s cabin will appeal to ANA’s passengers as it offers outstanding comfort and space with no middle seats. We look forward to seeing the aircraft take to the skies across Japan,” says Martyn Holmes, Chief Commercial Officer, Embraer Commercial Aviation.
The statement adds that Embraer E-Jets have been operating in Japan since 2009 and are supported by Embraer personnel in the country. ANA’s E190-E2 will be the first of the next generation E-Jets to operate in Japan. The aircraft’s state-of-the-art interior features a spacious, quiet cabin and Embraer’s signature two-by-two seating.
The airline says that the larger windows add to the feeling of light and space, while individual Passenger Service Units (air vent, reading light) add personalised comfort.
The airline says that Embraer’s E2 family of aircraft delivers the best environmental efficiency, operating performance and passenger comfort. Building upon the first-generation E-Jets’ 20 years of operational excellence, the E190-E2’s sophisticated aerodynamics, cutting-edge wing design and new technologies deliver a 25% decrease in carbon emissions and fuel burn over the previous generation E-Jets.
Embraer says that it is committed to developing products, solutions, and technologies to contribute to the aviation industry’s goal of achieving net-zero emissions by 2050.
It adds that the E2 family of aircraft is certified to fly with blends of up to 50% sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) and has demonstrated the engine’s operability with 100% SAF, further reinforcing Embraer’s commitment to emissions reduction and sustainable aviation.
