Luxair, flag carrier of the Grand Duchy of Luxembourg, has signed a firm order with Embraer for two E195-E2 aircraft.
E195-E2 small narrowbody aircraft will complement the larger narrowbody aircraft the airline has on order.
In exercising the two options secured in their 2023 firm order for four E195-E2 aircraft, Luxair now has a total of six E195-E2s on order. Three purchase rights remain, with conversion rights to E190-E2 as required.
Luxair’s first aircraft delivery, from the 2023 order, is scheduled to fly early 2026. Luxair’s new order secures additional delivery slots 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 will be configured in a comfortable single class layout with 136 seats in Embraer’s signature two by two seating; meaning no middle seats. Luxair has selected the popular Recaro seating which is now available as SFE (Supplier Furnished Equipment).
