Japan Airlines Orders up to 26 Embraer Jets for Regional Arm
The deal includes 10 options and aims to replace J-AIR’s aging regional jets with a more fuel-efficient model, JAL said.
- On Wednesday, Japan Airlines announced an order for 16 Embraer E190-E2 regional jets for its subsidiary J-AIR, with options for 10 additional aircraft.
- Under its 'JAL Group Management Vision 2035,' the airline intends to maintain domestic networks as essential infrastructure for Japan; the new aircraft will replace J-AIR's aging fleet of first-generation Embraer E170 and E190 jets.
- According to JAL, the E190-E2's Pratt & Whitney PW1900G engines deliver significant fuel efficiency gains and lower carbon emissions; the aircraft typically seats between 97 and 114 passengers, while reducing noise impact near airports.
- From its main hub at Osaka International Airport , the carrier operates flights across Japan, from Memanbetsu in Hokkaido to the Amami Islands; JAL President and CEO Mitsuko Tottori emphasized the domestic network's importance to local economies.
- ANA's earlier expansion of its own E2 order to 23 aircraft positions the family against Airbus' A220, as deliveries for JAL are scheduled to start in fiscal year 2029.
