The introduction of new aircraft types provides an opportunity for airlines, training organisations and training technology providers to put new ideas - be they hardware or software - into practise.
Embraer has unveiled a suite of sustainability initiatives ranging from researching electric and hydrogen propulsion, new regional turboprop and hybrid-electric transport aircraft, and enabling its regional jets to use 100% sustainable aviation fuel.
The dual-class, 76-seat regional jets will replace 16 aging Bombardier CRJ-900 aircraft that SkyWest operates under contracts set to expire in the second half of 2022 and early 2023.
Porter Airlines will use Embraer’s aftermarket services to maintain its E195-E2 fleet, providing the airline with separate long-term support agreements for major airframe and engine maintenance needs.
When it comes to crossover narrowbody jets, the number of lessors which have ordered from either the Embraer E-Jets E2 family or the Airbus A220 pairing is considerably fewer than those with Airbus A320neos or Boeing 737 MAXs in their portfolios.
Porter Airlines plans to add at least 30 Embraer E195-E2s to support a major expansion that would see it serve both business and leisure destinations throughout North America starting next year.
Embraer E190-E2 received steep approach certification from EASA on May. This opens the door for airlines to operate the airplane at airports that require approach slopes greater than the typical 3.0 degrees.
Embraer’s second quarter is off to a positive start with an order for 30 E195-E2 jets from an undisclosed customer as the Brazilian manufacturer looks to secure more new orders in 2021.
Start-up virtual carrier Green Airlines has signed a long-term wet-lease contract with German Airways to provide two Embraer E190-100LRs to support its network expansion.
Swiss regional carrier Helvetic Airways believes several airlines will utilize its fleet of Embraer E190/195-E2s for wet-lease capacity, especially when environmental requirements are attached to the financial support airlines receive from European governments.
Discover how the advanced technology found in Embraer’s E2 aircraft has led to a significant reduction in noise levels and is already meeting ICAO’s Chapter 14 cumulative limit. Read the article.
