Embraer Commercial Aviation logged an impressive number of aircraft orders at this year’s Paris Air Show, especially for the E2s, the second generation of E-Jets. The new, three-aircraft program was officially launched at a press conference on June 17 led by Embraer CEO Fred Curado and Paulo Cesar Silva, the President of the Commercial Aviation division.

Embraer also hosted a dinner on June 18 for VIPs at the historic le Pavillon Cambon in central Paris. Over one hundred guests were treated to a high-tech “4D Experience” before dinner in which the pavilion was magically transformed into an E195-E2 that flew them on a trip around the world.
