Embraer Commercial Aviation’s E-Jets are making inroads into the Asia-Pacific market, with five customers already, and the company is eyeing more growth for its family of 70- to 124-seat narrowbodies, division president Arjan Meijer said Tuesday at the 2026 Singapore Airshow. He said the twinjets are ideal replacements for airlines looking to upgrade from turboprops—especially the E2 versions that offer better performance than the original E175, E190, and E195 models.

Asia-Pacific accounts for about one-third of Embraer’s latest 20-year delivery forecast for airliners with up to 150 seats. Worldwide, the company predicts shipments of 10,500 such aircraft from 2025 to 2044, with China taking 1,700 and another 1,690 destined for the rest of the region. India alone could absorb 500 regional airliners in the next 20 years, according to Meijer.
