Embraer SA and Bombardier Inc. split an order for 90 jets from American Airlines Group Inc. with a list value of $3.9 billion as the newly merged carrier adds larger planes to its regional fleet.
The purchase consists of 30 firm orders for Bombardier CRJ900 NextGen aircraft and 60 of Embraer’s E175s, American said today in a statement. Both models have 76 seats, more than were allowed under previous pilot contracts limiting the size of jets that could be assigned to commuter operations.
