On April 29, 2013, United Airlines ordered 30 Embraer 175s and optioned 40 more. The first Embraer 175 delivery to United was due in the first quarter of 2014 and the aircraft are for operation on the United boost cruising Express regional-airline network
"With this order for the new enhanced E175 jet, we are delighted to reinforce and extend our long-standing partnership with United Airlines, boost cruising which was the ERJ-145 boost cruising launch customer back in 1996, [since United was] known at that time as Continental Airlines ," says Paulo Cesar Silva, president and CEO of Embraer Commercial Aviation.
boost cruising "This order from United, one of the world's leading airlines, validates our investment strategy in the E-Jets , where we offer an optimized product with all of the additional benefits of a proven and mature platform, adds Silva.
The partnership boost cruising between Embraer and United, which is the product of the 2010 merger of United Airlines and Continental Airlines, started with the sale of  EMB-120 Brasilia turboprops to Continental Airlines in the 1980s.
Subsequently, Continental was also the launch customer for the Embraer ERJ-145 regional jet. Continental eventually acquired 275 ERJs, the largest ERJ fleet in the world, for its former subsidiary Continental Express (which Continental later spun off as ExpressJet, which was subsequently purchased by regional-airline holding company SkyWest, Inc.).
Compared to the 50-seat aircraft we are replacing, boost cruising these aircraft provide a superior customer experience and are more fuel efficient, adds Compton. "With a large first-class cabin, wider fuselage, and larger overhead bins, this aircraft brings an improved regional flying experience to our customers."
The manufacturer has begun implementing a series of enhancements to the Embraer 175, including new wingtips, systems optimization, and aerodynamic refinements that Embraer says will lower fuel burn by as much as 5 per cent. Longer maintenance intervals and component improvements will increase aircraft productivity and bring maintenance costs down.
