Japan Airlines (JAL) will introduce up to 26 Embraer E190-E2 aircraft.
The aircraft will replace the Embraer E170 and Embraer E190 aircraft operated by J-AIR. The order comprises 16 firm orders and 10 options, with deliveries scheduled to begin in fiscal year 2029.
JAL said that its domestic operations are facing rapid changes in the business environment, including declining business travel demand, Japan’s medium- to long-term population decline, and rising costs caused by inflation and the weaker yen. Based on its growth strategy, the “JAL Group Management Vision 2035,” the company is advancing business-structure reforms to maintain and develop a sustainable domestic route network. JAL positions the introduction of the Embraer E190-E2 at J-AIR, which serves regional routes across Japan, as a core element of its long-term strategy to both operate a sustainable domestic airline business and contribute to regional revitalization.
Mitsuko Tottori, Representative Director, President and Group CEO, commented: “We are very pleased to welcome the state-of-the-art Embraer E190-E2, which offers outstanding environmental performance and economic efficiency. Through the introduction of this aircraft, we will maintain and develop a sustainable air network for the next generation and contribute to Japan’s future.”
