In February 2014, the Indian domestic operator placed an order for fifty E-Jets E2s with an additional fifty purchase rights. Broken down, the order includes twenty-five EMB190-E2s and twenty-five EMB195-E2s. The purchase rights are for an additional twenty-five E190-E2s and twenty-five E195-E2s bringing the overall order to 100 aircraft if all options are exercised.
Air Costa currently operates two EMB-190s and one EMB-170.
