Embraer has received a Type Certification from the Civil Aviation Authority of Malaysia (CAAM) for its E2 family of commercial E-Jets, the E190-E2 and E195-E2.
The certification follows Malaysian airline SKS Airways’ selection of 10 E195-E2s to drive its growth plans.
“Following our comprehensive assessment, CAAM is pleased to grant the type certification validation to Embraer’s E195-E2 and E190-E2 aircraft,” said Captain Norazman Bin Mahmud, CEO of CAAM. “We value Embraer’s spirit of collaboration towards our goal of instilling a safety culture to ensure the highest level of safety, security and efficiency in the Malaysian aviation industry.”
“CAAM’s certification of the E2 is great news for Embraer and the industry,” added Martyn Holmes, CCO, Embraer Commercial Aviation. “It lays the foundation for the entry into service of the E195-E2 in Malaysia in 2024. The E2 is the ideal family of aircraft to complement larger aircraft and grow regional connectivity within Malaysia and beyond while delivering ultimate performance in terms of the lowest fuel burn, smallest noise footprint and outstanding passenger comfort.”
