The company will place an additional order for 8 Embraer E190-E2 aircraft to expand the ACMI Agreement for ANA flights. The decision was made at a Board of Directors Meeting held on 29th July 2026 (notably, after the Farnborough Air Show).
According to ANA, the 100-seat class Embraer E190-E2 aircraft will achieve low fuel consumption and noise emissions by introducing the latest engines and technologies. It will also reduce operating costs in pursuit of a flexible supply-demand balance on domestic routes over the medium to long term.
In addition to the 20 aircraft (15 confirmed orders and 5 options) ordered on February 25, 2025, ANAHD will order 8 aircraft (confirmed orders) to expand the ACMI agreement for ANA flights through its partner IBEX Airlines (which currently operates MHI CRJ Aircraft).
As usual, the E190-E2s will be powered by Pratt and Whitney PW1900G GTF Engines.
