After the announcement of interest in acquiring a plane from Embraer for transporting the Palmeiras delegation, Leila Pereira, announced on social media the acquisition of an Embraer E2. The aircraft, which still bears the 2-RLET test registration, served as an Embraer demonstrator for other customers around the world.
Now, the Embraer E190-E2 aircraft (MSN 15) will receive the PS-LMP registration in the coming weeks, serving exclusively for the private transport of the Palmeiras team and other teams, if necessary.

The E190-E2 started operations in 2018. It is a single-aisle jet with capacity for up to 114 seats in a configuration with two seats on each side of the aisle.

Interestingly, the 2-RLET won a special painting dubbed "Tech Shark", the painting has a predominance of White and Blue colors, alluding to a shark with digital details. The plane has a kind of shark “mouth” on the nose of the aircraft, making the aircraft even more eye-catching.
It remains to be seen whether the new PS-LMP livery will come in the colors of Palmeiras, or whether it will be more discreet as it is a private transport aircraft.
