I’ll have a great chance to see both but especially the E175, seeing that it’s non-enhanced, so almost definitely Republic. Although N234AE is a fake reg.

Southwind Airlines, charter airline based in Antalya (Turkey) restarts flights to Europe.
What kind of news? It Is a news because Southwind Airlines was owned by Russian entrepeneurs and so was banned from European airspace like all the other Russian airlines because of the invasion of Ukraine.
In fact, in the first months after the invasion, when all the airlines based in Russia have been banned from Europe, Southwind Airlines continued to fly and many Russian holidaymakers and travelers reached Europe through Antalya airport and Southwind Airlines.
"Southwind Airlines (2S, Antalya) resumed flights to Western Europe on March 2, 2026, with a charter service from Antalya to Berlin Brandenburg tied to the ITB Berlin travel trade fair, ch-aviation research reveals.
The flight was conducted with a dry-leased 189-seater B737-8, TC-GRK (msn 43359), according to ADS-B data.
Announcing the flight on social media, the airline said that it now intends to expand its network with more European destinations, but it did not elaborate.
Launched in 2022, Southwind was banned from European Union airspace on March 29, 2024, due to its alleged Russian ties. The ban stemmed from the Finnish authorities' denial of traffic rights to Southwind on March 25 of that year over suspected Russian ownership/control.
A Southwind court challenge to overturn the ban failed in August 2024, as the European Union General Court ruled that no challengeable EU decision existed, and that instead it was member-state led. The court said that a European Commission email to Southwind, while stating the ban was in place and providing justification, was not a legal decision. Consequently, no EU decision could be challenged in court.
The airline serves at least eight Russian destinations, two destinations in Saudi Arabia, and four domestic routes within Türkiye, according to ch-aviation data. It operates a fleet of 14 aircraft: four A321-200s, one A321-200NX, two A330-200s, three B737-8s, three B777-300s, and one B777-300ER".

By NBC news:
What we know
The pilot and co-pilot were killed when a passenger jet struck a Port Authority vehicle at LaGuardia Airport late last night, officials said.
Forty one people were injured in the collision and were treated in local hospitals, and 32 have been released, the Port Authority said. Some are seriously injured.
The collision involved a Jazz Aviation flight operated on behalf of Air Canada. The plane was carrying 72 passengers and four crew members.
The Port Authority aircraft rescue and firefighting truck was responding to unrelated reports of an "odor" on a United flight when it was struck at 11:40 p.m. last night, according to a Port Authority spokesperson.
LaGuardia is now closed and won't reopen until 2 p.m. today at the earliest, as authorities investigate. The closure could be extended, and police have warned people to avoid the area.

Always thrilled to hear about E2 orders!
Will give the future SAS E2s & Wideroe company in northern Europe.
Glad they didn't pivot to the A220 like LOT (unfortunately) did

With all the money in the world, the US fails miserably at the basics - unfortunate - and innocent civilians pay with their lives.
How can such a busy airport have just one controller on duty?!! This is Washington DC on repeat. Better to temporarily shut operations.
