Embraer plans to deliver the first E190-E2 to launch customer Widerøe of Norway next April, the Brazilian airframer announced Wednesday in Athens during the European Regional Airline Association’s annual general meeting. Widerøe, the largest regional airline in Scandinavia, expects to begin revenue service with the 114-seat narrowbody shortly afterwards.
