Mexicana de Aviación, Mexico’s state-owned airline, has ordered 20 Embraer E2 aircraft: 10 E190-E2 aircraft and 10 E195-E2 jets, with deliveries to begin in Q2 2025.
This new order announcement serves as a strategic decision to help grow the airline, which restarted operations on 26 December 2023. It will be the first E2 operator in Mexico, and with these new jets, strengthen its domestic and international connectivity whilst growing and modernising its fleet.
Priscilla Doro Solymossy, VP of Sales and Marketing, Head of Latin America and the Caribbean, Embraer Commercial Aviation, said: “We welcome Mexicana to the E2 family, the first E2 operator in Mexico. Seeing the success and rapid growth Mexicana has achieved since it restarted operations in December 2023 has been remarkable.”
The airline is part of the Olmeca-Maya-Mexica Airport Group, and since restarting in 2023, Mexicana already flies to 18 destinations, and has transported more than 115,000 passengers.
