Briefing
The entry into service completes a recent fleet milestone: Airlink had previously taken delivery of its first E195‑E2 following a ferry flight from Brazil, and the type is now flying revenue rotations from Johannesburg.
The commercial launch implements an earlier schedule filing that had targeted a January start for E195‑E2 operations, indicating the carrier accelerated initial deployment plans.
For OEM and fleet‑planning watchers, this arrival ties into Embraer’s broader production momentum, following the manufacturer’s recent quarter of elevated deliveries that is feeding new E2 entries to regional operators.
