Horizon Air to defer 6 Embraer E175s
Alaska Airlines’ regional flying subsidiary Horizon Air will defer delivery of 6 Embraer E175s, an Alaska Airlines spokesperson confirmed. “As to what is going to happen with those aircraft, nothing has yet been finalised,” the spokesperson said. Horizon Air CE David Campbell announced Sept 1 that 3 E175s will be deferred this fall and 3 additional E175s will be deferred in the first half of 2018. Horizon Air has 25 E175s on order, with an additional 33 of the model on option; as of Aug 17 8 E175s have been delivered. Campbell reportedly said the deferrals are in response to a shortage of pilots, but are a temporary measure, with the airline still expecting to take delivery of all of its ordered aircraft by the end of 2018. <br/>
