Luxair, the national airline of Luxembourg, has placed a firm order for two Embraer E195-E2 aircraft. These additional planes will complement the airline’s fleet, which already includes four E195-E2s ordered in 2023.
This latest order follows Luxair’s decision to exercise options included in the 2023 agreement, bringing the total number of E195-E2 aircraft on order to six. The airline also retains purchase rights for three more aircraft, with an option to convert them to the smaller E190-E2 model if needed. Luxair expects the first delivery from its earlier order to take place in early 2026, while the newly ordered planes are scheduled for delivery in 2027.
“The E195-E2 is a critical investment in Luxair's future, enabling us to balance growth with our commitment to a greener and quieter future. Starting in 2026, these aircraft will mark the beginning of a new era for Luxair, bringing quieter operations, superior fuel efficiency, and unmatched passenger comfort to our customers. With a focus on a remarkably quiet interior cabin and low noise emissions, the E195-E2 aligns perfectly with our vision for a more sustainable, efficient, and customer-focused regional airline,” said Gilles Feith, CEO of Luxair.
Marie-Louise Philippe, SVP Sales and Marketing, Head of Region Europe and Central Asia, Embraer Commercial Aviation, said, “We thank Luxair for the trust they have shown in Embraer with this follow on order, coming before the delivery of their first E2s next year. The E2 is perfectly suited to Luxair’s operations and ambitions, closely complementing Luxair’s existing and on-order fleet, ensuring the maximum level of fleet and network optimization to the airline for the long-term. The E2’s advanced features, new technology, low noise and environmental footprint, make it possible for airlines to manage both their growth and sustainability goals.”
Luxair’s E195-E2 aircraft will be configured in a single-class layout, seating 136 passengers in a two-by-two arrangement with no middle seats. The airline has opted for Recaro seating, provided as Supplier Furnished Equipment (SFE).
Founded in 1961, Luxair plays a significant role in Luxembourg's economy and the Greater Region. The airline provides passenger services to major European cities, operates a tour operator division offering travel packages, and manages airport and air cargo operations at Luxembourg Airport.
