Eight years after the E190-E2s first flight in 2016, Embraer has finally established its beachhead for the regional jet in the Asia-Pacific (APAC) region.
Embraer has handed over Scoot’s first E190-E2, making the Singapore Airlines LCC subsidiary the first airline in the Asia-Pacific region to operate the type.
Embraer confirmed studies of a maritime patrol E190-E2 variant in November, showing a version carrying Exocet or Mansup anti-ship missiles on belly stations.
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.
Embraer’s business jet division “continued its positive sales momentum” during 2023 with strong support in its retail and fleet markets, the company says.
After a recent Morgan Stanley research note proclaimed Embraer its "top pick in aerospace," the Brazilian OEM's stock price surged 10% in a single day.
Embraer and Singapore’s ST Engineering say they will expand their collaboration in defense beyond the service and engineering of the C-390 transport aircraft.
