Helvetic Airways operated the first-ever commercial E195-E2 flight from Zurich to London City Airport.

Today marks a groundbreaking achievement as the first-ever Embraer 195-E2 lands at LCY, making history as the largest aircraft to ever operate at this iconic airport.

With its sleek design, cutting-edge efficiency, and impressive performance on LCY’s short runway, this moment showcases the future of aviation at one of the world’s most unique airports.

London City, where 75% of flights are on Embraer aircraft, is a special place for us. It’s great to celebrate another milestone in the E2 story with our partners from Helvetic Airways and London City”

Marie-Louise Philippe, Senior Vice President Sales & Marketing, Head of Region Europe and Central Asia, Embraer Commercial Aviation

Passengers on board also received exclusive gifts!
