Helvetic Airways conducted the world’s first commercial operation of the Embraer E195-E2 at London City Airport.
It operates the aircraft under a wet lease agreement from Swiss International Air Lines, becoming the largest aircraft to operate in and out of the airport, with a seating capacity of 134 seats.
Helvetic Airways first landed an Embraer E190-E2 at the airport in the fall of 2021. The airport requires specially trained pilots to perform the steep approach necessary for landing.
At London City Airport, 75% of all operations are conducted with Embraer aircraft. The Embraer E195-E2, compared to its predecessor, can reduce carbon dioxide emissions per seat by 30% and noise levels by 63%. Using the newly developed automatic takeoff system, its range is extended from 3,200 kilometers to 4,000 kilometers, enabling operations to destinations such as Istanbul, Gran Canaria, Casablanca, Athens, and Cairo.
