Virgin Australia<\/a>\u00a0has placed a firm\u00a0order<\/a>\u00a0with\u00a0Embraer<\/a>\u00a0for eight E190-E2 small narrow-body aircraft as part of its fleet renewal strategy. The E190-E2, recognised as the world’s most fuel-efficient single-aisle aircraft with the lowest noise emissions, will complement the airline’s larger narrow-body planes and replace its long-serving Fokker fleet. This order will be included in Embraer’s Q3 backlog, with deliveries set to commence in the second half of 2025.<\/p>\n

Virgin\u00a0Australia<\/a>‘s E190-E2 fleet will be based in Perth and operated by Virgin Australia Regional Airlines (VARA). The aircraft, powered by Pratt & Whitney’s PW1900G engines, has a flying range of approximately six hours.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhen the new E190-E2 enters service from October 2025, it will become the first new aircraft in the WA charter market this century,\u201d said Jayne Hrdlicka, Virgin Australia Group\u00a0CEO<\/a>. \u201cThe E190-E2 is the most fuel-efficient aircraft in its segment and will reduce emissions by about 30% compared to the outgoing F100. These aircraft also feature significantly lower noise profiles and enhanced passenger comfort.\u201d<\/p>\n

Building upon the first-generation E-Jets’ 20 years of operational excellence, the E190-E2’s enhanced aerodynamics, innovative wing design, and new technologies deliver substantial improvements in carbon emissions and fuel efficiency. It has been certified to fly with blends of up to 50% Sustainable Aviation Fuel (SAF<\/a>) and has demonstrated through test flights the engine’s capability to operate with 100% SAF.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
