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.

Boeing has achieved a significant milestone by providing NASA with the second core stage of the Space Launch System (SLS) rocket.

This crucial component, crafted at NASA’s Michoud Assembly Facility (MAF), is set to propel the Artemis II crew into lunar orbit, marking humanity’s return to deep space after a 50-year hiatus.

The monumental Boeing-built rocket stage, the largest element of the Artemis II mission, will embark on a journey aboard the Pegasus barge, traveling 900 miles to NASA’s Kennedy Space Center.

Upon arrival, it will be meticulously integrated with other essential Artemis II components, including the upper stage, solid rocket boosters, and NASA’s Orion spacecraft within the iconic Vehicle Assembly Building. This intricate integration process is a vital step toward the eagerly anticipated Artemis II launch, slated for 2025.

“Boeing-built products helped land humankind on the moon in 1969, and we’re proud to continue that legacy through the Artemis generation,” remarked Dave Dutcher, vice president and program manager for Boeing’s SLS program. “Together, with NASA and our industry partners and suppliers, we are building the world’s most capable rocket and paving the way to deep space through America’s rocket factory in New Orleans.”

The delivery of Core Stage 2 marks a significant achievement in the evolution of the SLS rocket. Towering over 200 feet and powered by four RS-25 engines, this core stage, coupled with two solid-fueled booster rockets, will generate a staggering 8.8 million pounds of thrust. This immense power is crucial to launching Artemis II and future missions into the vast expanse of space.

The SLS rocket stands unparalleled in its capability to transport both crew and substantial cargo to the moon and beyond in a single launch. Its extraordinary capacity will facilitate the delivery of human-rated spacecraft, habitats, and scientific missions to destinations including the moon and Mars, ushering in a new era of space exploration.
