DALLAS — Embraer will highlight its cutting-edge aircraft and aviation solutions at the inaugural Bali International Airshow, which will take place from September 18 to 21 at Ngurah Rai International Airport (DPS). 

Embraer, which has a notable presence in Indonesia through its partnership with PT Wira Jasa Angkasa (WJA), will focus on its E2 family of narrow-body jets during the show.

They have more than six hours of flying endurance, which gives airlines the flexibility to connect new city pairs across the region.

Speaking of the E2 jet's prowess, Scoot (TR), a Singapore Airlines (SQ) subsidiary, will launch flights between Singapore and Kertajati International Airport (KJT) on September 28, 2024, using Embraer’s E190-E2 aircraft.
