Widerøe, Scandinavia’s largest regional airline, has completed the first scheduled passenger flight of an Embraer E190-E2 on April 24. The aircraft, registered LN-WEA and operating as flight WF622, departed Bergen Airport at 7:56 am and arrived at Tromsø Airport at 9:39 am local time.
The flight marks the official entry into service of the first of three new E-Jets E2s that Embraer has developed to succeed its first-generation E-Jets. Deliveries of the larger E195-E2 are planned to start in 2019, and in 2021 for the smaller E175-E2.
