The Embraer E190-E2 and E195-E2 have been awarded type certification by the Mongolia Civil Aviation Authority (MCAA) opening a new frontier of opportunity for the planemaker.
Announcing the news on April 15, 2025, Embraer described the certification as a “milestone” that will allow the company to further access Mongolia’s growing aviation market.
The certification of the Embraer E190-E2 and E195-E2 follows approval by the FAA (US), EASA (Europe), ANAC (Brazil), CAAS (Singapore) and CAAC (China).
“We thank the Mongolia Civil Aviation Authority for their diligent assessment and confidence in Embraer’s aircraft. Certification paves the way for more business opportunities as we continue to expand our footprint in Mongolia. The E2 is ready to be a strategic asset for Mongolian carriers seeking to modernize their fleets and grow their networks,” said Martyn Holmes, CCO of Embraer Commercial Aviation.
He added: “We look forward to supporting Mongolia’s growing aviation market with these game-changing aircraft.”
Embraer aircraft have been present in Mongolia since 2018 when its ERJ 145 entered service with Aero Mongolia and in 2019, Hunnu Air followed suit by introducing two E190s.
A report by the International Air Transport Association (IATA) said that in 2023, the aviation industry contributed 5% of Mongolia’s GDP worth $1 billion and supported around 41,000 jobs.
Asia Pacific is the largest international market for passenger flows from Mongolia, followed by Europe and North America.
