Regional airline Envoy Air is adding 33 new Embraer E175s to its fleet.
Envoy, which is wholly owned by American Airlines Group, said the new jets will bring its all-Embraer fleet to 214 aircraft. The E175s are expected to be delivered in 2026 and 2027.
“As we remain focused on our core principles of safety, quality, and cost control, Envoy continues to grow strategically and sustainably – delivering value to our customers, employees, and American Airlines Group shareholders,” said President and CEO Pedro Fábregas. “This milestone reflects the dedication and hard work of our more than 21,000 employees across North America, the Pacific, the Caribbean, and the Bahamas.”

Envoy flies the E175 and the slightly smaller E170. With additional E175s already ordered and arriving later this year, the airline expects to have at least 181 aircraft by the end of 2025.
Envoy did not mention any complications stemming from new tariffs placed on Brazil, where Embraer is based.
Notably, Alaska Air Group has put off delivery of two new E175s over the expense of the additional taxes. The two jets were supposed to be used by its subsidiary, Horizon Air.
