Azorra has completed the acquisition of a large Embraer E‑Jet portfolio from Dubai Aerospace Enterprise (DAE), finalizing a transaction first detailed in 2025. The deal covers 49 Embraer E‑Jet aircraft along with two General Electric CF34 engines, according to company disclosures and industry reports. Closings under the original purchase agreements began shortly after they were signed and were scheduled to conclude by late 2025.
The aircraft are being placed with 12 airline customers worldwide, expanding Azorra’s role in the regional and crossover jet leasing segment. Following completion of this portfolio transfer, Azorra’s managed fleet exceeds 225 aircraft and engines, including existing commitments for new Airbus A220 and Embraer E2 family aircraft.
The Embraer E‑Jet family, typically configured for around 70 to 120 seats, is used on short- and medium-haul routes and remains a key type in regional and secondary markets. The transaction with DAE adds scale to Azorra’s E‑Jet leasing platform and follows related activity between the two companies, including Azorra’s separate purchase of nine GE CF34‑10E engines from DAE announced in April 2026.
