Luxair's first Embraer E195-E2 aircraft emerges with updated livery

The first image of a Luxair Embraer E195-E2 surfaced online this week, revealing an updated livery as the airline moves forward with its fleet renewal program.

The aircraft was seen outside Embraer’s facility in Brazil, ahead of its scheduled delivery later this year.

Shortly after the image emerged, Luxair released a statement about preparations to receive the new aircraft and also a video showing the computer-generated E195-E2 with the new livery.

Luxair has increased its order from four to six E195-E2 jets in 2024, with options for three additional units. The airline expects to begin operating the type in early 2026.

The E195-E2s will be configured with 136 seats in a single-class layout, tailored for Luxair’s European route structure. The sighting of the first E195-E2 marks a significant stage in the airline’s long-term fleet modernization strategy.

Alongside the Embraer jets, Luxair is also incorporating new Boeing 737 MAX aircraft into its operations. The E195-E2 is designed to offer improved efficiency and aligns with the carrier’s requirements for regional routes.

With the delivery of its first E195-E2 scheduled before the end of the year, Luxair aims to expand its route network and optimize operational costs. The new aircraft are expected to play a key role in the airline’s ongoing renewal efforts.

“The arrival of our first E195-E2 will mark a milestone for Luxair and for Luxembourg. It combines sustainability, efficiency and greater comfort for our passengers, while also introducing our refreshed brand identity – a strong statement about our ambitions for the future,” said Gilles Feith, CEO of Luxair.
