The aircraft, sourced from Azorra’s firm orderbook with Embraer, will support Hunnu Air’s ongoing fleet modernisation and regional expansion. The E195-E2 offers greater capacity and extended range compared to earlier models, aligning with the airline’s plans to broaden its network across the Asia-Pacific region.

John Evans, CEO and Founder of Azorra, said:

“We are thrilled to deliver Mongolia's first new Embraer E195-E2 aircraft to our valued partners at Hunnu Air. This is a significant step in the growth of Hunnu Air and a major milestone for the future of aviation in Mongolia. This delivery also reinforces our strong partnership with Embraer. The E195-E2 is a modern, fuel-efficient aircraft that is optimally designed to reduce operating costs and improve efficiencies in existing markets, while facilitating the exploration and development of new markets. As demand for these jets surges across the Asia-Pacific region, we are excited to continue providing our airline partners with innovative fleet solutions.”

Hunnu Air has been operating the earlier generation E190-E1 since 2019. The addition of the E195-E2 will enable the airline to increase capacity on existing routes such as Haikou, Sanya, and Phu Quoc, while expanding service to destinations in Japan, China, Vietnam, India, and South Korea. The airline also plans to launch scheduled flights to Tashkent.

Munkhjargal Purevjal, CEO of Hunnu Air, said:

“We’ve been an E190-E1 operator since 2019 and the E195-E2 is the perfect extension as we meet growing demand for air travel across Mongolia and beyond. These new generation aircraft will allow us to increase capacity to Haikou, Sanya, and Phu Quoc, expand services to Japan, China, Vietnam, India and South Korea, and introduce scheduled flights to Tashkent. We’re thankful for the support of Azorra and Embraer as the E2 will be integral to our long-term growth.”

Martyn Holmes, Chief Commercial Officer at Embraer Commercial Aviation, added:

“The entry of the E195-E2 into Mongolia is a key development for the region’s aviation landscape. The aircraft’s advanced technology, low noise levels, unbeatable efficiency, and unparalleled passenger comfort make it the ideal choice for airlines looking to grow strategically while optimizing operational costs. We look forward to supporting Hunnu Air’s strategic growth and thank Hunnu Air for their continued partnership and our leasing partner Azorra for their continued collaboration, combining again with Embraer.”

Azorra has been working with Embraer to expand the E2’s footprint in Asia, having delivered the region’s first E2 aircraft to Scoot in April 2024. The delivery to Hunnu Air underscores growing interest in new-generation, fuel-efficient aircraft across the region.
