United airlines partner SkyWest to buy Embraer jets
United Airlines partner SkyWest Inc. agreed to buy more than $4 billion of Embraer SA jets as new pilot contracts at the largest carriers allow commuter operators to fly bigger planes.
SkyWest Inc said on Wednesday that it will buy rival ExpressJet Holdings Inc, a deal that would make the combined carrier a top provider of regional flights to the largest airlines in the world.
