“Our incredible journey with Embraer began almost
25 years ago with the ERJ 145. Our partnership continues to grow
today with the E175s, the core of our fleet. Not only are our
customers happy with the aircraft, but the jet’s outstanding
performance has allowed us to continue to provide excellent
service to American Airlines,” said Pedro Fábregas, President &
CEO of Envoy. “We look forward to receiving these three new
aircraft later this year as we continue to expand our growing
network.”
Mark Neely, Vice President Sales and Marketing for
The Americas, Embraer Commercial Aviation, said, “Reaching the century mark of 100 E175s with
American Airlines and Envoy is truly a moment to savor. We thank
American Airlines and Envoy for their sustained partnership with
Embraer, which began back in 1998. It’s hard to exaggerate the impact this hardworking
aircraft has every day, delivering essential connectivity across
the US market. The E175 is the backbone of the US regional
network, with over 600 aircraft sold, and 86% market share since
2013.”
