Embraer 175

Embraer says it needs 200 aircraft orders from Indian airlines to make an E175 facility in the country viable. Would securing that number this year be unprecedented?

As an Air Algérie 737-800 was landing at Lyon Saint Exupéry airport in September 2002, a KLM E175 was taking off, creating an unsafe loss of separation.

Embraer needs firm orders for 200 aircraft if its plan to establish a final assembly line in India is to come to fruition, CEO Francisco Gomes Neto said.

SkyWest extended key contracts with United and Delta, solidified E175 fleet plans, and is eyeing growth in underserved communities and charter opportunities.

Gombe International Airport, northeast Nigeria, is to be expanded and improved, as the facility is tipped to help host a planned new regional airline.

Embraer said its commercial aviation division delivered 78 jets in 2025, with more E175s delivered, but fewer E190-E2s and E195-E2s.

The Zero Engine Taxi eTaxi system electrically drives one of the aircraft’s main landing gear wheel sets using power from the auxiliary power unit.

BermudAir has kicked off its Anguilla sub-brand with flights between Clayton J. Lloyd International (AXA) and Boston Logan International (BOS) airports.

The small numbers of passengers using many of West Africa’s air routes were a major factor behind Air Côte d’Ivoire selecting the Embraer 175 for its fleet.

Air Cote d’Ivoire is buying four Embraer 175s and Swiss carrier Helvetic Airway is taking a top-up order of three E195-E2s, the Brazilian airframer announced on the first day of Dubai Airshow.

Embraer reiterated its outlook for delivering between 77 and 85 commercial aircraft and between 145 and 155 executive aircraft in the full year.

TrueNoord has placed an order for 20 Embraer 195-E2s, a commitment that also includes purchase rights for 20 more of the aircraft and 10 175-E1s.

American Airlines plans to retrofit all its dual-class regional jets with refreshed interiors, amidst a continued push to expand premium offerings.

Regional airlines in the U.S. are considering their future-facing fleet options as they plan for retirements of older and out-of-production airframes.

Embraer confirmed with Aviation Week that “its employees are not on strike. Aircraft production and factory operations are continuing normally.”

Japanese Embraer E-Jet operator Fuji Dream Airlines has launched an air cargo service, handling small consignments of freight in the underfloor holds of its aircraft.

Star Air continues its fleet growth with the delivery of two more E175s from lessor Azorra, with two further aircraft scheduled for delivery in coming months.

Mesa Air Group is now a single fleet operator of Embraer E175s as its last CRJ crews complete training to fly the E-Jets later in August.

The Trump administration has effectively spared Embraer from elevated tariffs imposed on Brazil, softening a major potential headwind for the manufacturer.

Delaying delivery of E175s as a result of potentially increased tariffs on Brazilian goods imported to the U.S will negatively impact efficiency at SkyWest.

SkyWest is prepared to be flexible in its delivery schedule as it is unwilling to pay the proposed 50% surcharge on new Embraer aircraft.

American Airlines is confident it will close the margin gap with its largest rivals over time, seeing no structural impediments hindering its ability to do so.

Embraer has enjoyed its monopoly on providing regional jets for U.S. airlines, but the U.S.-Brazil trade dispute threatens future deliveries to key customers.

Embraer CEO Francisco Gomes Neto warned that U.S. tariffs on Brazilian imports could have the same revenue impact on the manufacturer as the COVID-19 pandemic.
