Singapore, 12th August 2025:
Embraer hosted the Asia Pacific edition of its Airline Business Seminar in Singapore, bringing together airlines, the financing community, consultants and aviation authorities from across the region from the 6th to the 7th of August 2025.
The closed-door event offered a platform for attendees to share and discuss emerging trends in the sub-regions of Asia Pacific, new traveler patterns and the opportunities it is creating for airlines and aircraft types like the E-Jets and E-Jets E2 families of regional aircraft and small narrowbody aircraft.
Raul Villaron, Vice President, Asia Pacific, Embraer Commercial Aviation, said, “The APAC Embraer Airline Business Seminar featured robust discussions about the evolving strategies that airlines and the wider aviation industry are adopting to seize growth opportunities and better yields in APAC – the world’s powerhouse of global aviation growth.”
“This event is an extension of our long engagement with the Asia-Pacific community and a reflection of how our small narrowbody and regional aircraft are empowering airlines to tap on unrealized potential in the region: enhancing connectivity and frequency of flights beyond the major hubs to underserved destinations across the region.”
In its latest market outlook report released in June 2025, Embraer expects a global demand for 10,500 sub-150-seat jets and turboprops within the next 20 years. Of this, a demand for 3390 units (~33.2%) stems from Asia Pacific including China.
With close to 200 E-Jets across Asia Pacific including China, Embraer’s E-Jets continue to build a strong track record in the region with its high performance, efficiency and reliability. 14 airlines across 7 countries have selected the E-Jets E2 and E-Jets and including Scoot, All Nippon Airways, Japan Airlines, Tianjin Airlines, Alliance Airlines (Australia) and Virgin Australia.
In August 2024, Virgin Australia ordered eight E190-E2s for its Western Australia regional and charter business. This year, All Nippon Airways ordered 15 E190-E2s with an option for five more, to enhance the airline’s nationwide connectivity. Both airlines will be the first operator of the E2s in their respective countries.
