Embraer E2 Helvetic
On June 25, Helvetic Airways received its first Embraer E195-E2 HB-AZI.
The airline’s current all-Embraer fleet, which includes the E190-E2 initially launched in October 2019, will be extended with the most prominent variant of the Embraer E2 series. The E195-E2 has a somewhat longer cabin than the E190-E2, with 134 seats rather than 110.
Helvetic would get four Embraer E195-E2 aircraft in total. The airline confirmed an order switch to the E195-E2 last year. In furthermore, the airline has acquired an additional 12 planes.
Helvetic currently has both first- and second-generation E-Jet planes in its fleet. Once the airline receives the three remaining E195-E2s, it will have a total of 16 Embraer aircraft stationed through its European route.
