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.
