The deal, which will be included in Embraer's
order book for the third quarter, is valued at $2.1 billion, the
planemaker said in a securities filing.
The planes will be operated by United Airlines under the United
Express brand, Embraer said, adding it comes on top of the
company's deal with Republic in Jan. 2013, when it signed a firm
order for 47 E-175 jets with 47 options.
