PARIS/SAO PAULO (Reuters) -Brazilian planemaker Embraer said on Monday it secured a firm order for eight E190-E2 regional jets from Virgin Australia.
The company confirmed the order in a securities filing. Reuters reported earlier in the day that industry sources said Embraer was poised to secure the order winning a competition against the A220, the smallest model of Europe’s Airbus.
Embraer did not say how much the order was worth.
According to price estimates from consultancy Cirium Ascend, such an order would be worth just under $300 million after typical industry discounts.
Embraer said the order will be added to its third quarter book, with deliveries expected to start in the second half of 2025.
