DALLAS – Luxair (LG), the flag carrier of Luxembourg, has placed an order for four Embraer E195-E2 aircraft. This order comes as a complement to the airline's recent purchase of the larger narrowbody Boeing 737-8 aircraft.

In addition to the four E195-E2s, LG has secured two options and three purchase rights for more aircraft, with the option to convert to the E190-E2 if needed. The first delivery of the single-isle aircraft is scheduled for the fourth quarter of 2025.

Luxair's CEO, Gilles Feith, expressed the airline's commitment to sustainability and passenger comfort, highlighting the E195-E2's low noise and fuel burn, spacious cabin, and ample overhead luggage bins. The aircraft's features align perfectly with Luxair's goals and will provide the flexibility needed in their network.

Martyn Holmes, CCO of Embraer Commercial Aviation, welcomed LG back to the Embraer family, noting their previous operation of ERJ-145 and Emb-120 aircraft. Holmes emphasized that the E2 is well-suited to Luxair's operations and ambitions, offering fleet and network optimization for long-term sustainability.

The E2's advanced technology, low noise, and environmental footprint make it an ideal choice for LG's growth and sustainability goals.
