Nigeria based carrier, Air Peace has placed a firm order with Embraer for 10 E195-E2 jets which will make them the first E-jets E2 operator in Africa. The airline started their operation in 2014. They have shown rapid growth in the last 5 years which makes them the biggest airline in West Africa to date.The airline intends to address the significant untapped demand in the African market with the E195-E2, the latest, most efficient, and most comfortable aircraft in the segment.

Jet Airways have been forced to park another 15 aircraft after they've failed to receive a bail out from its consortium of lenders, led by the State Bank of India. The carrier disclosed the additional groundings in a statement. It now has 70 aircraft out of operation owing to “non-payment to lessors”. It is unclear which types have been grounded, but it appears that it has mostly affected its Boeing 737 fleet.

The Federal Aviation Administration expects to receive Boeing's final B737 MAX software update in the "coming weeks." The FAA states that 'time is needed for additional work by Boeing as an ongoing review of the 737 MAX flight control system, to ensure that Boeing has identified and properly addressed all of the relevant issues'. Upon receipt, the FAA will subject the updated software to a 'rigorous safety review'. The FAA added that they will not approve the software for installation until the agency is contented with the review.
