The delivery of the Pratt & Whitney PW1900G-powered twinjet marks the start of a fleet renewal exercise at the Kazakh carrier, with a total of five E2s on order that will gradually replace nine older-generation E190 aircraft. These have been operated on domestic and low-density regional services since 2011.

Air Astana says the E2’s snow leopard livery is designed to draw global attention to the threat of extinction that the wild cat is facing. The snow leopard is a native of the mountain ranges in southern Kazakhstan, it adds.

Switzerland's Helvetic firms order for 12 E190-E2s

Helvetic Airways (2L, Zurich) has firmed an order for twelve EMB-190 E2s originally announced as a letter of intent by Embraer (EMB, São José dos Campos) and the Swiss regional carrier during this year's Farnborough International Airshow.

The initial twelve 110-seat aircraft will be owned by Patinex AG, the investment vehicle of Helvetic owners Martin and Rosmarie Ebner, and will replace Helvetic's current fleet of five Fokker 100s and seven EMB-190s with deliveries scheduled between September 2019 and June 2021. Three aircraft are due in 2019, four in 2020 and five in 2021. As already announced in Farnborough, Helvetic also has purchase options for twelve additional aircraft with the option to pick either EMB-190 E2 or EMB-195 E2 variants.

Helvetic currently operates the vast majority of its capacity on behalf of Swiss (LX, Zurich) with two Fokker 100s currently operated for Lufthansa (LH, Frankfurt Int'l). It also operates seasonal scheduled flights on a leisure focused network in cooperation with tour operators.
