Embraer has delivered the 50th E195-E2 aircraft to Porter Airlines. Embraer has delivered the 50th E195-E2 aircraft to Porter Airlines. The airline has firm orders for 75 aircraft, with purchase rights for an additional 25, potentially bringing its fleet up to 100 E2s.
The carrier received its first E2 jet in December 2022. The aircraft has enabled Porter’s network expansion across Canada, the U.S., and now the Caribbean, Mexico and Central America.
The airline’s strategy includes extending its elevated economy experience into southern vacation sunshine markets; it has launched 13 new routes to five popular destinations this season – Cancun, Puerto Vallarta, Nassau, Grand Cayman, and Liberia (Costa Rica) – from Toronto, Ottawa, Montreal and Hamilton airports.
“Since Porter’s founding in 2006, we have consistently focused on raising the bar for our passengers by proving that economy flying can and should be pleasurable for everyone," said Michael Deluce, President & CEO of Porter Airlines. "The E2’s introduction into our fleet is allowing us to turbocharge these efforts as the fastest growing airline in North America over the last three years.”
“Porter Airlines is a true disruptor in North American travel," said Nigel Patterson, Vice President Sales & Marketing, and Head of Region North America, Embraer Commercial Aviation. "Their commitment to elevating the passenger experience with the E195-E2 highlights the aircraft’s unique blend of operational efficiency, passenger comfort, and environmental performance. Today’s delivery reinforces our conviction that the E2 family is the ideal solution for next-gen growth and market expansion.”
The E195-E2 is the largest and most advanced member of Embraer’s E-Jets E2 family. It delivers up to 29% lower fuel burn compared to first-generation E-Jets, a range of 3,000 nautical miles (~5,556 km), enabling nonstop operations across North America, Mexico, and the Caribbean.
