LATAM Airlines has revealed details of the cabin interior for its upcoming fleet of Embraer E195-E2 aircraft, set to begin operations through LATAM Brasil during the fourth quarter of 2026 to bolster domestic flight connectivity. The strategic addition of 24 firm-order aircraft strengthens the airline’s value proposition through enhancements in passenger comfort, in-flight entertainment, and high-speed satellite internet.
Cabin Configuration and Onboard Experience: 2-2 Seating and Premium Economy
The new Embraer E195-E2 fleet will feature a 136-seat capacity arranged in a 2-2 cabin layout, eliminating the middle seat and offering passengers increased personal space.

- Economy: Designed to maximize ergonomics and comfort across the airline’s domestic route network.
Standard Features Across All Seats
Regardless of the selected class, the entire E195-E2 cabin will come equipped with:
- Adjustable headrests for enhanced ergonomic support.
- Optimized recline mechanisms.
- Dedicated personal device holders (for tablets and smartphones).
- USB-C charging ports to keep electronic devices powered throughout the flight.

- LATAM Play: Internet connectivity complements the airline’s in-flight entertainment platform, which features over 2,000 hours of audiovisual content.

- Complementary Service: The digital experience builds upon the carrier’s standard onboard service, which includes complimentary drinks and snacks during the flight.
Fleet Strategy
The arrival of the E195-E2 represents a key milestone in modernizing the carrier’s regional fleet, focusing on operational efficiency across domestic routes within Brazil while maintaining standardized, high service levels.
“Although this is a new aircraft model, passengers can expect the same LATAM Group experience they already know and trust. LATAM Group companies are committed to continuously evolving the customer travel experience. Every addition to the group’s fleet strengthens our capacity to deliver a comfortable, connected, and personalized journey, reflecting what passengers value most,” stated Paulo Miranda, Vice President of Customers at LATAM Airlines Group.
With the progressive delivery of this 24-aircraft firm order, the airline will reinforce its network presence in the Brazilian market. The combination of a modern 136-seat cabin, seamlessly integrated satellite connectivity, and a robust entertainment platform reinforces the group’s strategy to deliver a consistent, efficient, and tech-forward flying experience across its regional network.
