Our roundup of the main aerospace and defense stories making the news this week.

KLM Cityhopper, the regional subsidiary of the Dutch flag carrier, is leasing in extra capacity over the northern hemisphere summer season.

CEO Leslie Thng explains how Scoot has become one of the world’s most successful budget airlines and why it is introducing the Embraer E190-E2 to its fleet.

Eight years after the E190-E2s first flight in 2016, Embraer has finally established its beachhead for the regional jet in the Asia-Pacific (APAC) region.

Florida-based lessor Azorra plans to open a new office in Singapore in July 2024 as it breaks into the Southeast Asia market.

Embraer has handed over Scoot’s first E190-E2, making the Singapore Airlines LCC subsidiary the first airline in the Asia-Pacific region to operate the type.

Embraer confirmed studies of a maritime patrol E190-E2 variant in November, showing a version carrying Exocet or Mansup anti-ship missiles on belly stations.

The timing of the latest mandate is expected to prompt a final spike in engine removals.

The Brazilian carrier has outsourced ATR 72-600 and Embraer E1 redelivery checks outside of South America.

Air France is preparing to upgrade the cabins of the Embraer 190s operated by regional subsidiary HOP. The flag-carrier’s regional operation currently flies 21 E190s.

After a recent Morgan Stanley research note proclaimed Embraer its "top pick in aerospace," the Brazilian OEM's stock price surged 10% in a single day.

Increased sales opportunities may open up for the larger two models in Embraer’s E-Jet range.

Singapore Airlines Engineering Company is already providing line service for Scoot’s Airbus A320 family and Boeing 787-8/9 fleet.

While Virgin does not specify which aircraft types it is considering, they are believed to be Airbus A220-100s or Embraer E190-E2s, according to a VARA memo.

“We could easily double again to 400 or 500 aircraft type,” says Azorra President Ron Baur.

Scoot will be the first carrier in Southeast Asia to operate the Embraer E2 family.

The ACMI market promises a steady source of work for the next few years at least, according to the head of one of Europe’s oldest airlines.

Singapore Airlines' LCC Scoot recently added Embraer's E190-E2 jets to its family. Captain Darius Yeo explains how the airline is retraining its pilots.

As it awaits delivery of its first E190-E2, Scoot has signed a contract with Embraer for an inventory-optimizing solution to support its future fleet.

Embraer opened the Asia-Pacific’s first E-Jet E2 flight simulator at the Singapore Airlines Training Center, ahead of first delivery of the E190-E2 to Scoot.

The airline foresees a "healthy" pipeline of mechanics.

The running daily average of grounded aircraft—most of them Airbus A320neo-family variants—is expected to be around 350 through 2026.

Embraer’s E-Jets have racked up sizeable customer bases, but it is still unusual for the type to be used in the ACMI role.

Lufthansa Group's Italian regional subsidiary, Air Dolomiti, is in the throes of expanding its fleet of rival Embraer E190s.
