São José dos Campos, (Brazil): Embraer and Finnair have signed an agreement for up to 46 E195-E2 aircraft, comprising 18 firm orders, 16 options, and 12 purchase rights.
The E195-E2 will replace Finnair’s older aircraft, supporting the airline’s strategy for profitable growth. Selected for its superior efficiency, reliability, and passenger appeal, the E195-E2 is the quietest single aisle jet available today , and up to 35% more fuel efficient than the previous generation E190s operated for Finnair. With the quietest cabin in the single aisle segment and a comfortable configuration with no middle seats, the E195-E2 reinforces Finnair’s climate targets while enhancing comfort for customers.
“This is one of the largest investments in Finnair’s 102-year-old history, and a vital step in our strategy. The Embraer E2 will enable us to strengthen our European network and tap into the growth opportunities in the market, while also enhancing our competitiveness through reliability, versatility and high degree of customer comfort. Importantly, this investment also reduces our CO2 footprint, advancing our climate targets,” said Finnair CEO Turkka Kuusisto.
“Embraer is honored to support Finnair’s exciting next chapter,” said Arjan Meijer, President & CEO, Embraer Commercial Aviation. “The E195‑E2’s unique combination of efficiency, comfort, and reliability delivers meaningful value – lower fuel burn, lower CO₂, and superior economics. We look forward to helping Finnair modernize its short‑haul fleet to better match demand, reduce emissions, and unlock growth.”
Deliveries of the aircraft, configured with 134 seats, are scheduled to begin in the second half of 2027. The order will be added to Embraer’s 2026 first quarter backlog.
