Avelo Airlines will add up to 100 Embraer E195-E2s to its fleet under a new deal with the Brazilian plane maker.
The Houston-based discounter ordered 50 firm E195-E2s — plus 50 purchase rights — with deliveries beginning in the first quarter of 2027, said Arjan Meijer, CEO of Embraer Commercial Aviation, at an event in Washington, D.C., on Wednesday. The order is Embraer's first for the E195-E2 in the U.S.
Andrew Levy, CEO of Avelo, said the E2s will complement the airline's fleet of Boeing 737-800s and, thanks to the E2's smaller size, enable growth to more small and mid-sized markets across the U.S.
