Porter Airlines has placed an order with Embraer for up to 100 E195-E2 aircraft which includes 50 firm commitments and 50 purchase rights.
Embraer, a Brazilian multinational aerospace manufacturer has received the Type Certification from Transport Canada Civil Aviation (TCCA) for its E2 family of commercial jets, the E195-E2 and E190-E2. Embraer has already secured certification from ANAC (Brazil), the FAA (USA), and EASA (Europe) in 2019 and 2018 respectively. The delivery of the first of the fifty E195-E2 jets ordered by Toronto-based Porter Airlines will take place at Embraer’s headquarters in São José dos Campos, Brazil. Porter Airlines will also receive the first E195-E2 to be operated in North America.
Porter Airlines has placed an order with Embraer for up to 100 E195-E2 aircraft which includes 50 firm commitments and 50 purchase rights. In 2021 Porter Airlines ordered 30 Embraer E195-E2 jets, with purchase rights for a further 50 aircraft, worth US$5.82 billion at list price, with all options exercised. A firm order for a further 20 aircraft followed in 2022, valued at US$1.56 billion.
The E195-E2 is an environmentally friendly aircraft in its class, with a 25% lower fuel burn than the previous generation aircraft, with E190-E2 achieving 17% lower emissions. Both aircraft have the lowest levels of external noise, and the longest maintenance intervals in the single-aisle jet category – with 10,000 flight hours for basic checks and no calendar limit for typical E-Jet operations. This means an additional 15 days of aircraft utilization over a period of ten years compared to current generation E-Jets.
