Swedish airline Skyways yesterday placed a follow-on order for two firm and eight option Embraer ERJ-145 regional jets.
Skyways already has two ERJ-145s and is expecting two more deliveries during this autumn. The new orders will allow the airline to expand and operate two new routes.
"The European market for regional flights is growing rapidly," Jan Palmer, Skyways president and chief executive officer, told a press conference at the show.
Skyways operates domestic Swedish routes as well as services to other European cities. It was formed in 1991 through the merger of SalAir and Avia. It also operates Fokker 50s, Saab 340s and British Aerospace Jetstream 32s.
