Embraer’s E190-E2 and E195-E2 have attained
type certification from the Civil Aviation Authority of Singapore
(CAAS).
Scoot, the low-cost subsidiary
of Singapore Airlines, is due to operate the E190-E2 from 2024.
“We
welcome the type certification of the E190-E2 and E195-E2 and
thank CAAS for their thorough assessment,” said Raul Villaron,
Vice President and Head of Region, Asia Pacific, Embraer
Commercial Aviation. “This is yet another milestone achieved as we
work towards Embraer’s modern, fuel-efficient E190-E2 taking the
skies in Scoot’s livery in 2024.”
Scoot Embraer E190-E2 with Singapore as a backdrop
Embraer and CAE are establishing an E2 full flight simulator and pilot training
program in Singapore.
Scheduled to commence operations by the end of
this year, the FFS is based at the Singapore-CAE Flight
Training Centre which is located at SIA Training Centre.
“Certification of the
E190-E2 and E195-E2 by the Civil Aviation Authority of Singapore
marks a significant milestone for Scoot. It reinforces our
commitment to operating a modern and fuel-efficient fleet and
brings us a step nearer to offering more travel opportunities to
our customers,” said Leslie Thng, Scoot’s Chief Executive Officer.
“As the first Singaporean carrier to operate the
E2s, we look forward to enhancing connectivity in Asia and the
further development of Singapore as a hub for regional travel.”
The E190-E2 and E195-E2 were certified by three key
civil aviation authorities – the FAA (USA), EASA (Europe) and ANAC
(Brazil) in 2018 and 2019 respectively.
