Embraer S.A. ERJ recently secured an order from TrueNoord to supply 20 of its E195-E2 aircraft, with an option to deliver 20 more E195-E2 aircraft and up to 10 E175-E1 aircraft. The deliveries support TrueNoord’s mission to offer affordable, convenient travel, with the firm's order valued at approximately $1.8 billion at list prices.
The deal also signals strong market confidence, highlighting the momentum for next-generation small narrowbody aircraft and the rising demand for sustainable, right-sized planes.
What Makes the E195-E2 Aircraft an Ideal Choice?
Embraer’s E195-E2, the largest aircraft in the E-Jet E2 family, is designed for peak efficiency and high returns on busy routes. It achieves 29% lower fuel consumption than previous-generation E-Jets, accommodates up to 146 seats, and has a range of 3,000 nautical miles (5,556 km).
These standout features are clearly driving strong demand for the E195-E2, as reflected in the recent TrueNoord order and last month’s announcement of up to 100 E195-E2 aircraft orders from Avelo Airlines.
Global Commercial Airspace Continues to Broaden
Rising air passenger traffic, fueled by increased air travel among passengers and executives, along with growing demand for modern, fuel-efficient aircraft, is driving expansion in the commercial aviation market.
To this end, Airbus SE EADSY forecasts demand for 43,420 new aircraft deliveries over the next 20 years for new passenger and freighter aircraft. This trend is expected to benefit fuel-efficient aircraft manufacturers such as Embraer.
Embraer delivered 46 new commercial aircraft during the first nine months of 2025. Its commercial aviation segment backlog at the end of the second quarter of 2025 was $13.1 billion.
Such a strong backlog not only reflects the consistent demand for ERJ’s aircraft from commercial airlines, like the latest one, but also strengthens the company’s revenue generation prospects.
Prospects for Other Aerospace Stocks
Other aerospace stocks that stand to benefit from the growing commercial aviation market are as follows:
