Embraer has received an order for four units of the E175. The customer, American Airlines, will use the new aircraft to form the fleet of its subsidiary, Envoy Air.
“These new jets will allow us to continue growing with American Airlines. We are pleased to announce these four additional aircraft, which follow the order announced in June, as the US domestic and regional markets recover from a very challenging few years. The E175 allows us to provide excellent, reliable service to American Airlines and the thousands of customers we serve every day,” said Pedro Fábregas, President and CEO of Envoy Air.
Now, the company has a firm order for 112 jets of the model. In June of this year, American Airlines had placed an order for 7 units of the model. Deliveries are scheduled for the fourth half of 2024.
“The E175 is the backbone of the United States regional network, with more than 620 aircraft sold, and having an 86% market share since 2013. We thank American Airlines and Envoy Air for their long partnership with Embraer,” he said Martyn Holmes, CCO of Embraer Commercial Aviation.
The E175 jet began operations in North America in 2005, and has since dominated the industry, thanks to its comfort, high performance and efficiency. Customers appreciate Embraer's trademark “two and two” interior configuration, with no one in the middle seat.
To date, the global E170/E175 fleet has accumulated more than 19.5 million flight hours, with Envoy responsible for 1.3 million of these hours. In 2023 alone, the jet has already had 16 orders, 3 of which have been cancelled.
