Royal Jordanian is using its new Embraer E195 E2 aircraft to cut costs while navigating the challenges of the ongoing Israel-Palestinian conflict nearby.
Royal Jordanian is pressing ahead with both route and fleet expansion plans despite the turmoil in the region around it, according to CEO Samer Majali.
At first sight, it seems an odd decision: Why introduce a single example of a different aircraft type into your fleet, with all the potential complexities that could arise?
A breakdown of annual deliveries data reveals the ups and downs of how Embraer delivered 1,800 E-Jets over the last two decades and which models led the way.
Characterized as a serious incident, the near collision between a business jet and a commercial aircraft resulted in a minimal vertical separation of 665 ft.
Embraer expects to deliver 90-95 business jets and 45-50 commercial aircraft in 2021, up from 86 and 44, respectively in 2020 as the market recovers to pre-pandemic levels and growth continues, the company reported.
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.
