Yesterday marked the landing of the first commercial flight of the E-195E2 at London City Airport, operated by Helvetic Airways. This is now the largest jet from London City Airport.

The carrier is making history at London City Airport for the second time in three and a half years: after the Swiss regional airline became the world's first commercial airline to land an E-190E2 at London City Airport in Autumn 2021. On March 26, 2025, its E-195E2 was the first aircraft of this type to touch down on the runway of London-City Airport as part of a regular scheduled flight. With a length of 41.5 metres and a total of 134 seats, the E-195/E2 is now the largest aircraft flying from London-City Airport. This model also has the lowest fuel consumption per seat of all aircraft operating at London City.

The flight, which was operated by Helvetic Airways on behalf of Swiss International Air Lines on a wet-lease basis, took off from Zurich at 11:30 am and landed at London-City Airport shortly after midday.
