This significant milestone, announced on April 17, 2025, marks a pivotal moment in Mongolia’s aviation landscape as the airline expands its fleet to meet the growing demand for air travel.
The new Embraer E195-E2 aircraft is part of a firm order from Azorra, a Fort Lauderdale-based lessor. Hunnu Air will receive two of these state-of-the-art jets, allowing for enhanced service offerings across Asia.
Exciting Arrival and Future Prospects
The E195-E2, registered as EI-HUN, departed from Sao Jose dos Campos Airport (SJK) on April 17, 2025, and is currently en route to Gran Canaria Airport (LPA) before its final destination in Mongolia on April 19, 2025. This aircraft is set to bolster Hunnu Air’s capacity to popular destinations, including:
- Haikou
- Sanya
- Phu Quoc
- Japan
- China
- Vietnam
- India
- South Korea
- Tashkent
CEO Munkhjargal Purevjal emphasized the strategic importance of the E195-E2, stating, "We’ve been an E190 operator since 2019, and the E195-E2 is the perfect extension as we meet growing demand for air travel across Mongolia and beyond."
Enhancing Aviation in Mongolia
The E195-E2 is not just an upgrade in technology; it also represents a sustainable choice for airlines aiming to minimize operational costs while maximizing passenger comfort. Martyn Holmes, CCO of Embraer Commercial Aviation, highlighted the aircraft’s advanced technology and efficiency, noting, “The entry of the E195-E2 into Mongolia is a key development for the region’s aviation landscape.”
Partnership and Growth
The collaboration between Hunnu Air, Azorra, and Embraer showcases a commitment to enhancing aviation in Mongolia. Azorra CEO John Evans expressed enthusiasm about this delivery, stating, “This is a significant step in the growth of Hunnu Air and a major milestone for the future of aviation in Mongolia.”
Embraer’s presence in Mongolia dates back to 2018, when the ERJ 145 entered service with Aero Mongolia. Since then, Hunnu Air has added two E190s to its fleet, making this latest addition a natural progression in the airline’s growth.
