Porter and Embraer discuss matching aircraft models to market demand

On November 13, 2026, at the Skift Aviation Forum, Porter Airlines President Kevin Jackson and Embraer Commercial Aviation President Arjan Meijer discussed the airline's fleet choices. Jackson said Porter's 132-seat E195-E2 supports revenue per available seat mile (RASM) by matching capacity to demand; Meijer emphasized that filling seats with larger aircraft at lower fares carries revenue risk. The discussion currently focuses on the idea of matching aircraft models to market demand; the report did not mention the two sides reaching a purchase or cooperation agreement.
