Scandinavia’s largest regional airline, Wideroe have plans to increase its order for E2 jets after it received the first of three new-generation aircraft from Brazil’s Embraer to become its inaugural operator. It has options to buy another 12. Wideroe could also be showing interest in the smaller E175-E2, due to enter service in 2021 and currently prevented by union scope clauses from operating in the United States. Wideroe is the oldest airline in Norway and has discarded any reports of competition with Norweigan, saying there was no direct competition with Wideroe which serves mainly small domestic airports. Embraer expects a market for 6,400 jets in the 70-130 seat segment over the next 20 years.
