The relative paucity of orders Embraer has drawn for its E-Jet line in the Asia-Pacific region contrasts sharply with its success in China, a market company executives expect only to grow with the introduction of the first E2 variant. Expecting imminent certification of the E190-E2 as the Singapore Airshow approached, Embraer (Static Display CD 31, Stand V01) sees recently announced improvements in hot-and-high performance to draw particular attention from airlines in the People’s Republic, where no fewer than 100 E-Jets already fly with five operators.
