Embraer delivers 34 jets in the second quarter

Brazilian airframer Embraer delivered 34 jets during Q2 2021, double the number it delivered in the same period during coronavirus-plagued 2020. Of the aircraft delivered in the three months ended in June, 14 were commercial aircraft and 20 were executive jets, the Sao Jose dos Campos- headquartered company says on 21 July. The Brazilian airframer handed over just 17 jets in Q2 2020 – four commercial and 13 executive jets. Included in the Q2 deliveries were seven E175s and seven new-generation E195-E2s. During the period, Switzerland’s Helvetic Airways received the first of four new E195-E2 aircraft. Embraer says the carrier has ordered 12 E2s to support its fleet renewal initiative: eight E190-E2s (already in service) and four E195-E2s (converted from the original E190-E2 order). The airline also holds purchase rights for an additional 12 aircraft, the company adds.<br/>
