Japan Airlines orders 16 Embraer E190-E2s with 10 options

Japan Airlines (JAL) has finalized an order for twenty-six Embraer E190-E2 aircraft, consisting of sixteen firm contracts and ten purchase options. Deliveries are slated to commence during the 2029 financial year. This acquisition is intended to replace JAL’s existing regional fleet, specifically the Embraer E170/E190 operated by its subsidiary, J-AIR. The J-AIR network primarily focuses on serving a broad domestic route system originating from Japan Airlines' main hub. These new aircraft will bolster JAL’s capacity within the Japanese market.
