Unidentified Indian based Airlines may have placed the order for the Five Embraer E195 aircraft.

Is this a new E195-E2 customer from an Indian air carrier?

Embraer receives significant orders from these airlines at the Paris Airshow

A new order for five E195-e2 aircraft from an unidentified customer was recently placed with Embraer. However, there are rumours that the Indian company Airline star air, with plans to buy 5 aircraft from the Brazilian-based Embrear aircraft manufacturing company, may have placed this order.

As rumors spread after the plane made a surprise visit to Kolhapur Maharashtra last month and landed in a local airport, Star Air’s corporate headquarters are located there.

Star Air currently runs the majority of southern flights connecting major cities and smaller airports, giving the airline a wider network. There is considerable suspicion that the aircraft have been ordered by Star Air, an Indian commuter airline based at Bangalore’s Kempegowda International Airport. The firm has shown interest in the aircraft.

There are 5 aircraft in Star Air’s fleet, all of which were made by Embraer. It uses 5 Embraer ERJ 145LR aircraft to fly to 17 domestic destinations in India from its hubs at Kempegowda International Airport and Belagaavi Airport.

Five E195-E2 aircraft have been firm orders for Embraer from an unnamed airline with ambitious new growth aspirations.

The final aircraft will complete the transaction in early 2024. Embraer will deliver four aircraft by the end of 2023. The contract’s list price worth of US$389.4 million will be added to Embraer’s backlog for the fourth quarter.

Ten airlines are now running the contemporary E195-E2, with KLM and Azul being the two biggest. The aircraft is, however, becoming more popular with other airlines worldwide and entering new markets.

When Ratan Tata was denied entry to the airfield at the Aero India show, he waited

During our visit to Aero India 2019, we had the unexpected opportunity to see Ratan Tata at the event, which was a thrilling moment for us. However, there was a surprising hiccup when the security staff didn’t allow him to enter due to a lack of a security pass.

Despite this, he remained calm and patiently waited for about 20 minutes until a member of the Tata team brought him the required pass, after which he calmly proceeded inside. It was a humbling sight, showcasing his composed demeanor even in such situations.

Ratan Tata ji is not only a renowned industrialist but also a trained pilot, holding a pilot’s license. In 2007, he became the first Indian civilian to fly the F-16 Falcon during the Aero India show in Bangalore—a proud moment for the nation.

His passion for aviation extended beyond flying, as he played a key role in shaping India’s aerospace industry. Under his leadership, Tata ventured into manufacturing and maintaining aerospace components while upholding its legacy of quality. Notably, Tata’s collaboration with Airbus to develop and manufacture the C295 aircraft is a testament to its growing influence in the sector.
