On Tuesday (December 23, 2025), Embraer announced that Porter Airlines has reached another major milestone, having taken deliver of their 50th E195-E2 aircraft.  Since receiving their first E2 jet in December 2022, Porter set out to reshape travel across North America and set new standards for the guest experience.  Currently, Porter has firm orders for 75 aircraft, with purchase rights for an additional 25, potentially bringing their fleet up to 100 E2s.  The E195-E2 has enabled Porter’s impressive network expansion across Canada, the U.S., the Caribbean, Mexico and Central America.


In Tuesday’s announcement, Porter Airlines’ President and CEO, Michael Deluce, said,


“Since Porter’s founding in 2006, we have consistently focused on raising the bar for our passengers by proving that economy flying can and should be pleasurable for everyone.  The E2’s introduction into our fleet is allowing us to turbocharge these efforts as the fastest growing airline in North America over the last three years.  The aircraft offers an incredible passenger experience and supports our promise as being the only airline in the region with no middle seats for any passenger on any flight.  Our story is continuing as we reset the competitive landscape.”


Also commenting on Porter’s milestone 50th E2 delivery, Embraer Commercial Aviation’s Regional Head – North America, Nigel Patterson, added,


“Porter Airlines is a true disruptor in North American travel. Their commitment to elevating the passenger experience with the E195-E2 highlights the aircraft’s unique blend of operational efficiency, passenger comfort, and environmental performance. Today’s delivery reinforces our conviction that the E2 family is the ideal solution for next-gen growth and market expansion.”


Porter’s bold expansion strategy includes extending their elevated economy experience into southern vacation sunshine markets, including the launch of 13 new routes to five popular destinations this season, with the addition of Cancun, Puerto Vallarta, Nassau, Grand Cayman, and Liberia (Costa Rica) from Toronto, Ottawa, Montreal and Hamilton airports. With the addition of the 50th E2, Porter will continue exploring opportunities to increase capacity across their growing network.
