“We are delighted to participate in the milestone celebrations for Embraer and the E-jet program, recognizing the longstanding collaboration between Royal Jordanian and Embraer, supported by our valued partners at Azorra,” said Samer Majali, Vice Chairman and CEO of Royal Jordanian Airlines. “The E2 family of aircraft supports our strategic aims and seamlessly integrates with our vision for regional connectivity and growth.”

Later this year we will announce a number of performance improvements for the E2, which has also proven it is ready to fly on 100% SAF,” said Arjan Meijer, President and CEO of Embraer Commercial Aviation.
“The E2 continues to demonstrate its advantages in fuel burn, emissions, quietness, reliability, and passenger comfort, and airlines are taking notice.” he concluded.
