Labor contracts prohibit many U.S. airlines from refreshing their regional jets with the latest technology. Does this open the door for a novel hybrid-electric venture—and perhaps even a turboprop comeback?
As Canadian operator Porter Airlines steadily scales up its fleet of Embraer E195-E2s, the carrier is expanding its training facilities to cope with demand.
As RTX'S Pratt & Whitney ramps up production of geared turbofan (GTF) engines, GKN Aerospace is adding build capacity at its Newington, Connecticut, facility.
Pilots at Toronto-based Porter Airlines are now officially represented by the Air Line Pilots Association (ALPA), broadening the union’s reach in Canada.
Embraer is optimistic about securing additional orders in the Asia-Pacific region before the end of 2025, potentially selling E2s into India for the first time.
