LATAM Brasil CEO Jerome Cadier said the airline’s first Embraer E195‑E2 will enter operation at the end of November, with phase 2 of the programme to be announced at that time and adding three to four destinations, while phase 3 is slated for mid‑February 2027 to complete the 24‑aircraft order.
LATAM has firm orders for 24 E195‑E2 aircraft and options for 50 more, which could raise the fleet to 74 units; the E195‑E2 seats 136 passengers compared with about 180 on an Airbus A320 and can be configured with up to five rows of Premium Economy that can be adjusted to route demand. The airline plans to use the new type on existing LATAM destinations to improve frequency and match aircraft size to demand, focusing on corporate travel in cities with high business traffic.
