SkyWest (SKYW) announced an agreement to purchase and operate 16 new Embraer (ERJ) E175 aircraft under a multi-year contract for Delta Air Lines (DAL). The 16 new E175 aircraft are expected to replace 11 CRJ900s and 5 CRJ700s currently under contract with Delta. The aircraft will be purchased by SkyWest from Embraer, with deliveries expected to begin in 2027. SkyWest also secured firm delivery positions with Embraer for 44 additional E175s from 2028 to 2032. SkyWest intends to take delivery of the 44 additional E175s, subject to SkyWest entering into flying agreements with one of its major airline partners in respect of such aircraft. The firm delivery positions and purchase rights on 50 additional E175 aircraft announced today would provide SkyWest with ongoing fleet flexibility over the next decade.
