   The American airline SkyWest Airlines has placed an order for seven Embraer   
   175s. The deal involves around $ 750 million. The aircraft, which can   
   accommodate seventy passengers, are deployed on regional flights of Delta Air   
   Lines.   
       
   SkyWest has been a good customer for Embraer for years. Including the new   
   order, the airline purchased no fewer than 165 aircraft from the Brazilian   
   aircraft manufacturer. Before that, SkyWest was also an enthusiastic user of   
   the Embraer 120 turboprop.   
       
   In addition to seven factory-new Embraers, SkyWest also receives six used   
   copies via Delta. Seven ordered Bombardier CRJ900s are canceled by the deal.   
       
   Delta also extended its cooperation with Republic Airways, which also operates   
   on regional flights for Delta and receives 30 more Embraers.
