**By Brazil Stock Guide –** Brazilian aircraft manufacturer **Embraer** (NYSE: ERJ; B3: EMBR3) has secured a firm order for **20 E195-E2 jets** from Dutch lessor **TrueNoord**, in a deal valued at **$1.8 billion** at list prices. The agreement also includes **purchase rights for up to 30 additional aircraft** — **20 more E195-E2s** and **10 E175-E1s** — marking the lessor’s **first direct purchase** from a manufacturer and a key milestone in its global expansion strategy.

CEO **Anne-Bart Tieleman** said the order “marks a new phase” for TrueNoord as it continues to grow as a **specialized global leasing platform for next-generation, fuel-efficient regional jets**. The company primarily invests in **turboprops and regional jet aircraft** — valued for their **strong asset retention** — including **ATR, MHIRJ, Embraer, De Havilland**, and the **Airbus A220**. Its strategy is built on a diversified, liquid fleet mix tailored to the needs of regional operators.

TrueNoord works **closely with its airline customers — operators of aircraft between 50 and 150 seats —** providing **solutions-driven professional services** that go beyond financial metrics. The lessor seeks to understand each client’s **business model, route structure, and market focus**, whether serving essential regional links, leisure routes, or business travel.

According to **Arjan Meijer**, CEO of **Embraer Commercial Aviation**, the deal “demonstrates strong confidence in the E2 family” and highlights rising demand for **smaller, sustainable narrowbodies**. “The E195-E2 offers exceptional performance and efficiency — the perfect choice for lessors and operators preparing their fleets for the future,” he said.

The partnership broadens Embraer’s footprint in the leasing market, as aircraft manufacturers compete to meet rising demand for efficiency and flexibility. Headquartered in Amsterdam, **TrueNoord is backed by investors including Patria, BlackRock and Freshstream**.
