Embraer is looking to secure a potential sale of 11 E190-E1 and -E2 regional jets to Air Niugini, which is looking to replace its aging fleet of Fokker 100/28.
The four aerostructures, including the wing and fuselage sections, are being delivered to Embraer’s final assembly line in Gavial Peixoto, Sao Paulo state.
Embraer is starting an E-Jet conversion program in response to the booming e-commerce market and the movement by logistics providers to decentralization warehouses.
