Oct 05, 2017 (newstodate): The Norwegian carrier Wideroe was first to order the new Embraer E190-E2 and is now preparing for the start of deliveries.
A total of three Embraer E190-E2 have been ordered, and the first aircraft will join the Wideroe fleet in March 2018, with the next two to follow in April.
This marks also the carrier's entry into the jet age as the fleet now comprises only turboprop aircraft including 41 Dash-8 aircraft of various types.
Wideroe has signed a wet-lease agreement with Finnair that will utilize two of the aircraft on new routes from Helsinki to Bergen and Tromso from May 2017.
When all three aircraft have been delivered, two will be based in Bergen and one at Oslo Torp Airport.
In January 2017 it was announced that the contract with Embraer comprises three firm orders for the E190-E2 and purchase rights for 12 further E2 family aircraft.
