Mexicana Takes Delivery of Sixth Embraer E190-E2 at AIFA

The state-run carrier says the new jet will boost route growth.

Overview

  • Mexicana de Aviación received a sixth Embraer E190-E2 at Felipe Ángeles International Airport, adding to its active fleet.
  • The jet arrives under a 2024 agreement to buy 20 E2-family aircraft from Embraer, with deliveries running through 2027.
  • The purchase covers 10 E190-E2 and 10 larger E195-E2 models for high-demand regional routes.
  • The airline says the E2 uses less fuel, emits less CO2, and runs quieter, which can reduce costs and ease noise limits near airports.
  • Mexicana expects to complete the 20-aircraft fleet by the end of 2027, opening more point-to-point options from its AIFA base for travelers.
