Mexicana, Mexico’s state-owned airline, has officially taken delivery of its first E195-E2 jet from Embraer, marking a key milestone in the carrier’s modernization strategy. The aircraft departed Embraer’s headquarters earlier today and is now en route to Mexico.
This is the first of 20 new-generation Embraer E2 aircraft ordered by the airline—comprising 10 E190-E2s and 10 E195-E2s—as part of a 2024 agreement aimed at boosting operational efficiency and expanding domestic connectivity.
“This delivery marks a new chapter for Mexicana,” said Leobardo Bojórquez, CEO of Mexicana. “The E2’s performance, cost-efficiency, and passenger-friendly design align perfectly with our long-term growth strategy. We’re thrilled to offer this next-level experience to our travelers.”
The aircraft will feature a single-class configuration, offering a modern and spacious cabin with no middle seats, enhancing passenger comfort. Thanks to its advanced aerodynamics, next-gen engines, and cutting-edge systems, the E195-E2 consumes 29% less fuel than the previous-generation model.
Arjan Meijer, President and CEO of Embraer Commercial Aviation, added, “We’re proud to support Mexicana in connecting communities across Mexico with the world’s most fuel-efficient single-aisle aircraft. The E2 family fits perfectly with Mexicana’s sustainability and network goals.”
The E-Jets E2 family is widely recognized for its quiet operations, low emissions, and leading economics in the regional jet segment. The aircraft also features full fly-by-wire systems to improve safety and reduce pilot workload. Mexicana’s new fleet will be backed by Embraer’s Services & Support program, ensuring high aircraft availability and performance from day one.
