Scandinavian Airlines has agreed to acquire 45 Embraer E195-E2 aircraft, with an option for 10 more, the carrier announced Tuesday. The order is the largest direct purchase from a manufacturer for SAS since 1996, according to the carrier.
The first Embraer aircraft are scheduled for delivery in late 2027, with remaining deliveries to be extended over approximately four years. Excluding purchase rights, the value for the order is about $4 billion.
The new aircraft will be used to optimize SAS' operations and enhance connectivity across Scandinavia and Europe, according to the carrier.
