June 18, 2025
Embraer has announced a new order from leading customer SkyWest for another 60 aircraft.
The order is firm for 60 Embraer E175 jets, and includes purchase rights for an additional 50 aircraft.
“We’re pleased to continue growing our E`175 fleet and enhance our dual-class footprint,” says Chip Childs, President and CEO of SkyWest. “This order enables us to advance our long-term fleet strategy.”
Deliveries will begin in 2027.
SkyWest adds more Embraers to the world’s largest E175 fleet
SkyWest is the largest operator of the E175 in the world. It has 263 of the type already representing around half of its 581 aircraft fleet.
With some now approaching or over 10 years of age, SkyWest is placing orders to refresh with new jets. It still had 16 E175 on backlog with Embraer, and has today upped that backlog to 76.
SkyWest Airlines operates through partnerships with United Airlines, Delta Air Lines, American Airlines and Alaska Airlines and carried over 42 million passengers in 2024.
