Wideroe Keen on Exercising Rights for More Embraer E2s
Embraer jets will support growth and revenue diversification with charter and ACMI

Norwegian regional airline Wideroe anticipates converting the purchase rights it holds for 12 Embraer E2 series jets, and initial work to analyze the time frame and variant could start after the summer. “The focus right now is getting the first three E190-E2s [we have on firm order] in service and to a stable operation. This is a huge jump for us,” Wideroe CEO Stein Nilsen told AIN onboard the airline’s first E190-E2 ferry flight from São Jose dos Campos to Bergen. Wideroe serves as the launch operator of the type and expects to receive the second aircraft in May and the third in June.
