US regional carrier Trans States Holdings has placed a tentative order for up to 100 Embraer E175 E2 jets.
The order comprises 50 "reconfirmable" aircraft and 50 options, says the aiframer. Deliveries would begin in June 2020.
Trans States' order is valued at about $2.4 billion at list prices. Embraer says the order will be added to its backlog when certain conditions are met and the order is confirmed by Trans States.
