Embraer is strengthening its partnership with SkyWest, Inc. by selling 19 new E175 jets for operation in the United Airlines network. This addition complements the 90 E175 jets already operated by SkyWest for United. The aircraft will be exclusively flown under a Capacity Purchase Agreement (CPA) with United Airlines.
The contract, with a value of $1.1 billion based on list prices, has been included in Embraer’s Q3 backlog. Since its establishment in 1969, Embraer has delivered over 8,000 aircraft. On average, an aircraft manufactured by Embraer takes off somewhere in the world approximately every 10 seconds, contributing to the transportation of over 145 million passengers annually.
