Mexicana's New Bird: First E190-E2 in the Fleet!

Hey everyone, just saw that Mexicana has taken delivery of their first E190-E2. Pretty cool that they picked it up on May 2, right? This one's joining their fleet of five E195-E2s, so now they've got a total of six E2s. Seems like they're really banking on these Embraers. This particular plane, XA-MXF, made its way from So Jos dos Campos to Mexico City with a stop in Manaus.

Seems like a smart move for Mexicana to expand with these jets. With 108 seats, the E190-E2 should be a good fit for some of their routes. I guess we'll see how they utilize them, especially since they're planning on getting six more this year.

What do you all think about their choice to go with the E190-E2? Do you think it's a good fit for their network? Also, I'm curious about how these new aircraft might impact their operations and route planning. Anyone have any insights or thoughts on that?

The E190-E2 seems like a solid choice for Mexicana. It's got a decent range and is more fuel-efficient, which should help on those thinner routes where they don't need the extra capacity of the E195-E2. Plus, with fuel prices being what they are, efficiency is key. Wonder how they'll shuffle their routes with these. Maybe opening up some new markets or increasing frequency on existing ones? Do you think they'll retire any older planes in the process?

I think the E190-E2 is a smart choice for Mexicana. It's perfect for regional routes where the E195-E2 might be overkill. Plus, they're pretty fuel-efficient, which is always a win. I'm curious how they'll balance their route planning with these two similar models. Do you think they'll use the E190-E2 for new routes or just replace older planes? Also, with six more E2s coming, it'll be interesting to see if they retire any older aircraft or just expand their network.

I'm curious how the E190-E2's performance will stack up against the E195-E2. Same family but a bit smaller, right? Seems like it could be a great fit for routes with less demand where the E195-E2 might be too big. I wonder if they'll use these for new destinations or to increase frequency on existing routes. Either way, those extra six coming in should give them a lot of flexibility. Anyone know what routes they might be targeting with these jets?
