Helvetic Airways Expands Embraer E2 Fleet with New Order for up to Eight E195-E2 Aircraft
November 17, 2025
Dubai Air Show, UAE, November 17, 2025 – The Swiss Airline Helvetic Airways has placed a new firm order for three Embraer (NYSE: EMBJ / B3: EMBJ3) E195-E2 aircraft, with five additional purchase rights, reinforcing the Swiss carrier’s commitment to modern and sustainable aviation.
The first aircraft is scheduled for delivery at the end of 2026. Each E195-E2 will be configured with 134 seats in a single-class layout, featuring modern Recaro seating, offering passengers comfort and efficiency.
This latest order will enable Helvetic Airways to grow its E2 fleet from 12 to up to 20 aircraft in the coming years, strengthening its position as a leading European operator of Embraer’s advanced E-Jet family.
“We are proud to deepen our partnership with Embraer through this further order for the E2,” said Tobias Pogorevc, CEO of Helvetic Airways. “The E195-E2 is the ideal aircraft for our network, offering exceptional fuel efficiency, low noise emissions, and a high-quality passenger experience. This order supports our modern fleet strategy and sustainability goals while maintaining operational flexibility across Europe. It will also enhance our ability to serve various European customers through our ACMI operations.”
Arjan Meijer, President and CEO of Embraer Commercial Aviation, added: “Helvetic Airways continues to demonstrate the versatility and value of the E2 family in European operations. Their decision to expand the E195-E2 fleet is a strong endorsement of the aircraft’s performance, economics, and environmental credentials. We’re proud to support Helvetic’s growth and their role in delivering reliable, efficient service in their main area of wet-lease operations.”
Helvetic Airways first ordered the E2 in 2018, with a firm order for 12 E190-E2s, including conversions rights to the E195-E2. The airline currently operates:
• Eight E190-E2s
• Four E195-E2s
• Four E190s
• Four E195s
The E2 jets are deployed across Helvetic’s scheduled, charter, and wet-lease operations. The airline was also the first to operate the E190-E2 and the E195-E2 E2 aircraft into London City Airport for Swiss International Air Lines, showcasing the aircraft’s steep approach capability and quiet performance.
With this latest order, Helvetic Airways continues to lead the way in sustainable regional aviation, leveraging the E2’s advanced technology and passenger appeal.
