Small Narrowbody Jets

Air France is preparing to upgrade the cabins of the Embraer 190s operated by regional subsidiary HOP. The flag-carrier’s regional operation currently flies 21 E190s.

Increased sales opportunities may open up for the larger two models in Embraer’s E-Jet range.

Since Air Canada’s consolidated its Air Canada Express regional operation, Jazz Aviation has flown a mixed fleet of both jet and turboprop aircraft.

When it rains in Darwin, on the northern tip of Australia, it really rains, which reduces scheduled air passenger traffic to and from the city.

The latest E190 to end its life as a spares source was this example previously operated by Russia’s Pegas Fly.

Embraer foresees a demand for ‘at least 50’ E1 and E2 crossover jets in Vietnam over the next five years, the company said at last month’s Singapore air show.

The ACMI market promises a steady source of work for the next few years at least, according to the head of one of Europe’s oldest airlines.

Austrian Airlines’ fleet of Embraer 195s may fly average sector lengths of around one hour, but that figure hides considerable variations in the crossover jet’s operations.
