Farnborough Airshow, UK – July 21, 2026 – Embraer (NYSE: ERJ; B3: EMBJ3) announced at the Farnborough Airshow that Fuji Dream Airlines (FDA) has placed a firm order for two E175 aircraft. The order is already reflected in Embraer’s backlog.
FDA’s new E175 aircraft will be configured in a single-class 84-seat layout, with deliveries scheduled for 2027 and 2028.
