E190 wins LCY ticket; Lineage to follow
Barely 10 days after Embraer’s E190 gained cert

Barely 10 days after Embraer’s E190 gained
certification to fly the steep approach into London City Airport, Switzerland’s Baboo became the first airline to take advantage of the new capability when it flew one of its three 100-seaters between Geneva and the single-runway Stolport on February 10. The airplane replaced one of Baboo’s pair of Bombardier Q400s for the landmark flight.

The certification does not immediately apply to the Lineage 1000, the executive transport that uses the E190’s airframe. However, Embraer expects the Lineage to earn certification late this year or early next year.
