Finnair Orders Up to 46 Embraer E195-E2 Jets in European Fleet Refresh

The move reflects a shift toward flexible, fuel‑efficient narrowbodies for Finnair’s regional network.

Overview

  • The package comprises 18 firm orders plus 16 options and 12 purchase rights, according to Embraer.
  • Deliveries are scheduled to start in the second half of 2027, with the order added to Embraer’s Q1 2026 backlog.
  • Embraer did not disclose the value of the transaction in its announcement.
  • Finnair also plans to source up to 12 used Airbus A320 or A321 aircraft to support its network plans, Reuters reported.
  • The renewal has been reported as the carrier’s largest investment in more than two decades and is seen as a bet on lower fuel burn, reduced noise and tighter capacity matching.
