On Tuesday, July 21, 2026, Embraer (EMBJ3) announced it had signed an agreement with Abra Group, the controlling shareholder of Avianca, Gol and Wamos Air, for the sale of 20 E195-E2 aircraft, the largest model in the E-Jet E2 family, as part of the group’s strategy to expand its role as a pan–Latin American platform. The contract also includes 10 purchase options and 15 purchase rights, totaling up to 45 aircraft, and is subject to the fulfillment of additional conditions.
According to Embraer and Abra Group, the new fleet will allow for better capacity matching to demand across the entire network, opening new markets and adding frequencies, with a focus on domestic and regional markets. The E195-E2 was designed to offer higher fuel efficiency, lower emissions and greater passenger comfort, combining advanced aerodynamics and Pratt & Whitney’s new-generation GTF engines.
The first delivery to Abra Group is scheduled for the fourth quarter of 2027, with the remaining aircraft to be delivered progressively after that period. Embraer stated that the order will be included in the third-quarter 2026 order book (backlog) once all final contractual conditions have been met.
