With COVID-19 having dealt a huge blow to regional airlines, it is unclear how soon their appetites for new aircraft will return. But the sector clearly is entering a new paradigm. The departures of Bombardier and Mitsubishi have left ATR and Embraer with monopolies for turboprops and regional jets. Embraer is seeking partners to develop a new turboprop, all-electric aircraft are beginning to make inroads on short routes and hybrid concepts are being looked at for larger regional aircraft.
Flight-Level 500 Co-Founder Nico Buchholz, who oversaw fleet management at Lufthansa and later was a Bombardier executive, joins Aviation Week editors and forecasters to discuss why the sector looks ripe for change and may well see more innovation sooner than the mainline industry.

NEW YORK – Yesterday,
Airways was given an exclusive tour of the brand new jetBlue (B6) Airbus A220-300 (N3008J) at John F. Kennedy International Airport (JFK). In true COVID-19 fashion, the tour was held with social distancing and mask-wearing strongly in mind.
The aircraft, named ‘Hops’, took off on its maiden flight in early December of 2020, flying around the Airbus factory in Mobile, Alabama before being delivered to B6. On New Year’s Eve, the New York-based carrier took delivery of its first of 70 Airbus A220-300s on order to replace its aging Embraer E190 fleet.
Along with the brand new aircraft, B6 featured a new tail design on the Airbus A220. The ‘Hops’ tail livery is the newest iteration of the ever-evolving tail designs of the airline’s aircraft. The new design extends to the wingtips, creating a stunning livery.
