Embraer’s E-Jets E2 family of commercial jets, the E190-E2 and E195-E2, has received Type Certification from the Civil Aviation Authority of Malaysia (CAAM). This significant milestone comes after Malaysia’s SKS Airways announced its selection of 10 E195-E2s at LIMA’23 to drive its growth plans for the region.
The E190-E2 and E195-E2 were certified by three key civil aviation authorities – the FAA (USA), EASA (Europe) and ANAC (Brazil) in 2018 and 2019 respectively.
In its recent Malaysian network analysis, Embraer identified significant opportunities for airlines in the country to establish up to 120 new routes within Malaysia and the ASEAN region by deploying the latest technology regional jets, such as the E2, that deliver the greatest fuel burn reductions and lowest costs, while opening up new routes profitably.
