PARIS, June 18, 2019 /PRNewswire/ -- Embraer announced
today, at the 53rd International Paris Air
Show, that it has signed a contract with Binter, of
Spain, for two additional
E195-E2s, confirming purchase rights from the original contract,
signed in 2018. The two new E195-E2s will be included in Embraer's
2019 second-quarter backlog and have a value of USD 141.8 million, based on Embraer's current
list prices. The airline is celebrating 30 years of operations in
2019.
"We are extremely proud that Binter is reinforcing its
commitment to the E2 program and has confirmed these new
acquisitions even before the first E195-E2 delivery to the airline.
We wish continued success to Binter as it modernizes its fleet and
continues to expand into new international markets in Europe and Africa", said Martyn
Holmes, Vice President, Europe, Russia & Central
Asia, Embraer Commercial Aviation.
Binter will receive its first E195-E2 jet in the second half of
2019, becoming the first European customer of the E-Jets E2's
largest model. The airline is configuring the aircraft with 132
seats in a very comfortable single-class layout.
"We are pleased to confirm the firm order for these two
additional Embraer E195-E2s," said Binter's Vice President,
Rodolfo Núñez. "We know that the
E195-E2 is the ideal aircraft model for our operations, and, with
typical Embraer efficiency, Type Certification was exactly on
schedule. This along with fuel burn and other performance
indicators being even better than originally expected, we have
total confidence in placing this new firm order."
Embraer is the world's leading manufacturer of commercial
aircraft up to 150 seats with more than 100 customers from all over
the world. For the E-Jets program alone, Embraer has logged more
than 1,800 orders and 1,500 aircraft have been delivered. Today,
E-Jets are flying in the fleet of 75 customers in 50 countries. The
versatile 70 to 150-seat family is flying with low-cost airlines as
well as with regional and mainline carriers.
