Crossover Narrowbody Jets

Embraer could delay the E175-E2 entry into service further, by a few months, as another round of pilot labor-contract scope-clause discussions begins.

Embraer’s IKON big data analysis system works with connectivity built into the E2 to provide greatly enhanced predictive data for MRO.

Embraer’s Slattery says many of the goals set for entry into service have been exceeded, but he concedes there have been some "small learnings."

Embraer looks to accelerate E2 sales and production rates with Boeing partners as the E195-E2 secures triple regulatory approval.

With new scope negotiations due between now and 2022, OEMs are hopeful enough changes will enable their new crossover narrowbody jets to penetrate the North American market.

The big question for OEMs now is how much further new crossover narrowbody jets can penetrate the European market compared with previous generations of aircraft.

Crossover narrowbody jet manufacturers eye Japan, South Korea, Taiwan and parts of northeast Asia as a key sales battlegrounds.

Low-cost carriers stand to gain more market access by adding crossover jets to their fleets.
