Embraer E2 jets gain type certification in Singapore

Embraer’s E190-E2 and E195-E2 have attained type certification from the Civil Aviation Authority of Singapore (CAAS).  Scoot, low-cost subsidiary of Singapore Airlines, is due to operate the E190-E2 from 2024.

The E190-E2 and E195-E2, considered the world’s quietest and most fuel-efficient single-aisle aircraft, were certified by three key civil aviation authorities in 2018 and 2019, which include the FAA in the US, EASA in Europe and ANAC in Brazil. 

Embraer and CAE recently announced plans to establish a state-of-the-art E2 full flight simulator and pilot training programme in Singapore, which will commence operations by the end of this year. The full flight simulator is based at the Singapore-CAE Flight Training Centre which is located at SIA Training Centre.
