Mexicana de Aviación, Mexico's state airline, has ordered 20 Embraer E2 aircraft.
The agreement is for 10 E190-E2 and 10 E195-E2 aircraft and deliveries are scheduled to begin in the second quarter of 2025.
Mexicana, the first E2 operator in Mexico, will configure the E190-E2 with 108 seats and the E195-E2 with 132 seats, both in a single-class layout.
“It has been remarkable to see the success and rapid growth that Mexicana has achieved since restarting operations in December 2023,” said Priscilla Doro Solymossy, Vice President of Sales and Marketing, Head of Latin America and the Caribbean, Embraer Commercial Aviation. “The airline already flies to 18 destinations and has transported more than 115,000 passengers, accumulating more than 3,280 flight hours in this short period, reflecting Mexicana's commitment to operational excellence and customer service.”
Mexicana is one of the oldest airline brands in America. The company was first founded in 1921 as a cargo airline, but ceased operations in August 2010. It was reborn on December 26, 2023 and is now expanding its fleet and route network.
