SkyWest to expand E175-fleet

SkyWest has announced it has signed a flying agreement with Delta Air Lines for sixteen ERJ175s which will be ordered new with Embraer. The sixteen ERJ175s will replace sixteen CRJ900s operated by SkyWest for Delta Air Lines and are set to be placed into service in the first half of 2022.

With this latest order, SkyWest has now ordered a total of 494 ERJ175s. It also operates 141 CRJ200s, 104 CRJ700s and 40 CRJ900s. It's, however, unclear what SkyWest will do with the sixteen CRJ900s returning from flying for Delta. Next to flying for Delta Air Lines, SkyWest also operates for Alaska Airlines, American Airlines and United Airlines.
