SAO JOSE DOS CAMPOS, Brazil,
Dec. 1, 2016 /PRNewswire/
-- Embraer S.A. (NYSE: ERJ; BM&F BOVESPA: EMBR3) announces
that it has revised its initial projection of certification and
entry into service of the E175 E2 jet from 2020 to 2021. This
rescheduling is based on the following two factors:
- Continued interest in the current generation E175 jet in the
North American market; and
- Recent negotiations between the major US airlines and their
respective pilot unions during which the maximum takeoff weight
restrictions for 76-seat aircraft included in the relevant scope
clauses remained unchanged.
The next round of negotiations between the major US airlines and
their respective pilot unions is scheduled to occur in 2019 at
which time such restrictions may be revisited.
The expected timeframes of certification and entry into service
for the other models of this family of aircraft, the E190 E2 and
the E195 E2, continue unchanged and should occur in the first half
of 2018 and in 2019, respectively. The Company reiterates that the
development and certification program of these aircraft is
progressing as expected.
