Background ✨
Embraer Sales and Marketing SVP Raul Villaron said it was in discussions with Air India and IndiGo about supplying the E195-E2, arguing many Indian markets were too thin for narrowbodies or too long for turboprops; Star Air India remained the only Indian Embraer operator at the time.1 Embraer also secured type acceptance for the E190-E2 and E195-E2 in South Africa, where Airlink finalised a lease with Azorra for 10 E195-E2s, with deliveries expected from 2025 to 2027.2
