BRAZILIAN AEROSPACE manufacturer Embraer has revealed the first production E190-E2 will be delivered to launch customer Widerøe in April. Scandinavia’s largest regional airline will start revenue services with the new aircraft shortly afterwards.
John Slattery, President and CEO of Embraer Commercial Aviation, said: “Since the programme’s launch, the first half of 2018 has always been our target [to start deliveries], and now we are making good on this commitment. From the beginning, the E2 has been, and remains, on time, on budget and better than the initial specification. We’ll deliver to the market a mature and robust aircraft.”
