American Airlines orders four Embraer E175s for Envoy Air

American Airlines (AAL) has signed a firm order with Embraer (ERJ) for four new E175s. The aircraft will be operated by American’s wholly owned subsidiary, Envoy Air. With all deliveries in Q4 2024, Envoy’s all E-Jet fleet will grow to over 150 aircraft by the end of 2024. The contract value is $230.6M at list price, and will be included in Embraer’s 2023 Q4 backlog. “These new jets will allow us to continue growing with American Airlines. We’re pleased to announce these additional four aircraft, following the order announced in June, as the US domestic and regional markets recover from a very challenging few years. The E175 allows us to provide an excellent and reliable service to American Airlines and the thousands of guests we serve everyday”, said Pedro Fabregas, President & CEO of Envoy.
