U.S. regional airline SkyWest has placed a firm order for 16 Embraer E175s for operation under its partnership with Delta Air Lines, the companies revealed late Monday. Embraer plans to deliver the first of the 76-seat, three-class jets in Delta livery in mid-2022 and accept the entire allotment by the end of the year. The Brazilian manufacturer places the value of the contract at $798.4 million.
