Brazil's Embraer snags $1.1b order from United

Embraer has signed a firm order with United for twenty-five 70-seat E175 jets, the Brazilian planemaker said Monday, providing a boost to the company shortly after JetBlue Airways opted to replace its fleet of Embraer jets with ones made by Airbus. Under the contract, worth $1.1b at current market value, Embraer is set to deliver the jets in Q2 2019, Embraer said. <br/>
