Aerospace group Embraer announces major order from Canadian airline

Brazilian aerospace and defence group Embraer has announced that it has received a $5.82-billion order from Canada’s Porter Airlines for 30 E195-E2 jet airliners, with options for another 50. The announced value of the contract assumes all the options will be exercised and that the aircraft will be purchased at their list price. Embraer reported in May that it had won a major contract from an undisclosed customer for the largest version of its new-generation airliner family. This announcement revealed the identity of the customer and added the news of the options that have been taken out. Porter is the first North American carrier to order one of Embraer’s E2-family types.
