IndiGo in Talks with Brazilian Planemaker Embraer for 100 Jets, Sources Say
The deal could be one of Embraer’s largest, with deliveries likely to start from 2030 and the final aircraft model still undecided.
- On November 4, 2026, sources revealed IndiGo is in early-stage talks to purchase 100 regional jets from Embraer, with options for 50 additional aircraft, though no deal is guaranteed.
- Earlier this year, Embraer signed a non-binding Memorandum of Understanding with Adani Defence to explore establishing a Final Assembly Line in India for E175 jets.
- IndiGo currently operates ATR72-600s but is evaluating Embraer's next-generation E2 family, including the E190-E2 and E195-E2, which seat up to 114 and 146 passengers respectively.
- The aircraft model and quantity have not been finalized, with deliveries likely to begin from or after 2030 if a deal proceeds.
- Embraer President Francisco Gomes Neto stated the E175 has a "global track record of enabling efficient, high-frequency regional operations," identifying India as a key growth market.
