Embraer E2s

has ordered four additional Embraer 195-E2 aircraft. The additional order follows the carrier’s existing order of 21 Embraer 195-E2 aircraft. The airline has an option for 10 more airframes. The first airplane of the type will be delivered to Cityhopper later this month.

KLM Cityhopper placed its first order for the Embraer 195-E2 at the Paris Air Show in 2019. At that time, the airline ordered 15 aircraft. Later on, the carrier expanded its order by six airframes. The Dutch airline will use the new planes to replace some of the older Embraer E190 aircraft while also expanding its fleet. Due to the COVID-19-crisis, KLM and KLM Cityhopper are using the Embraer E175 and Embraer E190 fleets more than usual due to the low demand for air travel. Many of the routes typically operated by the Boeing 737 have been temporarily replaced by the Embraer fleet.
