Embraer
has signed a contract with Widerøe, the largest regional airline in
Scandinavia, for up to 15 E2 jets. The contract consists of three
firm orders for the E190-E2 and purchase rights for 12 further E2
aircraft. This flexible mix of purchase rights for E175-E2, E190-E2,
and E195-E2 will give Widerøe the ability to grow their fleet with a
family of aircraft from 80 to 130+ seats.
The
order has a potential list price value of up to $873 million, if all
orders are converted. The three firm orders for E190-E2s were
included in Embraer's fourth quarter 2016 backlog.
"It's
always an important moment for Embraer when we add a new airline to
our family of operators. Our next generation E190-E2s will also be
the first jets in Widerøe's fleet,” said Arjan Meijer, chief
commercial officer, Embraer Commercial Aviation.
Widerøe will configure the E190-E2s in a comfortable single-class layout with 114 seats. Deliveries are scheduled for 2018. This deal brings the E-Jets E2 backlog to 275 firm orders plus Letters of Intent, options and purchase rights covering another 415 aircraft giving a total of 690 commitments from airlines and leasing companies.
