At the Farnborough Airshow, Luxair—Luxembourg's national carrier—converted three existing purchase rights for E190-E2 aircraft into firm orders, lifting its total firm E2 commitment to nine jets. The move signals robust customer confidence in the E2 platform and further bolsters Embraer's commercial aviation backlog, which recently reached a record $32.1 billion. Configured with 100 seats for high-frequency business routes, the first E190-E2 is slated to enter Luxair's fleet at the end of 2028. While financial terms remain undisclosed, turning options into firm orders marks a clear demand tailwind, adding to the company's strong order momentum this year.
