Nean1 wrote:I believe that Embraer's bets on commercial aircraft for the next two years seem quite logical:
- Keep production at a relatively low rate (~ 100 aircraft / year), with the introduction of E2 on the same assembly line;
- Recognizes that PW geared turbofan are still in the process of maturation, so avoid capital immobilization with "gliders";
- Do not put too much pressure on the discounts to obtain sales at the expense of the leasing companies.

I'm very curious who the 10 E195E2's are for

My bet is for a European operator who already owns either the E190-E1 or the E195-E1 model in their fleet.
My list of possible candidates would be:
- Air Dolomiti;
- Air Europa Express;
- Austrian;
- Flybe;
- Helvetic;
- HOP;
- LOT;
- TAP Express.

Did they do some tests at HLE...or is it just en-route perhaps to SIN? Maybe displaying in Southern Africa first to some prospect clients (Airlink, LAM...?)

PR-ZFU is going to Singapore, according to Embraer twitter account: https://twitter.com/embraer/status/958716707610148864

They aren't in a hurt yet but unless the regionals pull the trigger on replacing CRJ's with 175's in mass the number of 76 seaters is getting close to maxing out so the steady 80 some odd planes delivered is bound to go down and the E2 will need to pick up the slack. I think it will (although the uncertainty of ownership might leave airlines sitting on their hands a bit just to see how it plays out) but be very interesting to see how it all plays out. Will be an incredibly exciting and fascinating year for EMB!

The impression I got from another thread on this site about scope was that EMB are more likely targeting non US markets with the E2.

E2 Maximum Braking Energy
Braking Energy Test Paves the Way for Certification. Certification of the E190-E2 is within sight now that this critical test - and one of the last - has been completed. The test measures the ability of the aircraft’s brakes to absorb the kinetic energy produced from stopping after a rejected takeoff at maximum weight and speed. The E2’s brakes easily handled the stress. The results confirmed the aircraft’s robust design and excellent performance.
Embraer has confirmed that several of the first E-Jet E2s to be delivered will require an upgrade due to durability issues with their Pratt & Whitney PW1900G engines. The airframer has not specified the total number of E2s it will deliver this year, but has said that 10% of the around 90 commercial aircraft it will produce in 2018 will be the re-engined variant.
When asked whether as many as seven or eight aircraft were affected, Souza says that "maybe less" will have PW1900Gs that require a later upgrade to the package C standard to address combustor liner longevity issues. Embraer stresses that a minority of E2 deliveries in 2018 will be affected. However, Souza says that any aircraft delivered with the problematic engines will be retrofitted by year-end.
Embraer's E2 family comprises three models spanning 90-146 seats. The E190-E2 and E195-E2 are both in flight testing, with service entry planned for 2018 and 2019, respectively.
The third and smallest variant, the E175-E2, is on track to make its first flight in 2019, says Souza, ahead of service entry in 2021. Its PW1700G engines are currently being tested by P&W, he adds.
