Wideroe turns to jets with Embraer ۱۹۰ - E۲ order

TIN news:  Scandinavian regional carrier Wideroe is to step up to jet operation, having opted to take up to 15 Embraer 190-E2 re-engined aircraft.
The agreement comprises three firm jets and purchase rights on a further 12, the Brazilian airframer states, with deliveries commencing in 2018.
Wideroe has been an all-turboprop operator, with a fleet entirely comprising Bombardier Dash 8s.
Its switch to arch-rival Embraer comes four years after the Norwegian regional airline was divested by former owner SAS Group.
Wideroe is to operate the 190-E2s with a single-class configuration featuring 114 seats.
