Embraer joins Bali International Airshow
Embraer is all set to reveal an innovative range of aircraft and aviation solutions at the upcoming Bali International Airshow on 18 to 21 September. At the Ngurah Rai International Airport, the aircraft manufacturer will bring prime examples from its commercial aviation, defense and executive jets portfolios, along with scale models of its latest aircraft, including the E2 family of small narrow-body jets and the multi-mission military airlift C-390 Millennium. Embraer is no stranger to the Indonesian aviation sector. At present, the Indonesian Air Force operates a fleet of A-29 Super Tucanos. Likewise, there is a sizeable fleet of Embraer business jets operating in the country. Innovative aircraft The E2 family of small narrow-body jets includes the E190-E2 and the E195-E2, seating up to 114 and 146 passengers, respectively. The E2 family is both the quietest and most fuel efficient single-aisle aircraft family currently in production. In addition to its class-leading economics and sustainability credentials, the E2 family offers a flying endurance of more than six hours to enable airlines the operational flexibility to connect new city pairs across the region, both near and far. A prime example of this growing connectivity is happening in Indonesia where Scoot, a subsidiary of Singapore Airlines, will commence flights on 28 September 2024 between Singapore and Kertajati International Airport (KJT) using Embraer E190-E2 aircraft. On the other hand, the C-390 can carry more payload (26 tonnes) compared to other medium-sized military transport aircraft and flies faster (470 knots) and farther, being capable of performing a wide range of missions such as transporting and dropping cargo and troops, medical evacuation, search and rescue, firefighting, and humanitarian missions, operating on temporary or unpaved runways. The aircraft configured with air-to-air refueling equipment, with the designation KC-390, can operate both as a tanker and as a receiver, in this case also by receiving fuel from another KC-390 using pods installed under the wings.

LOT Polish Airlines to add three Embraer E195-E2s
LOT Polish Airlines will add the Embraer E195-E2 to their fleet to enhance operational flexibility and accommodate network expansion. LOT will lease three new E195-E2 from Azorra, reaffirming their commitment to sustainable growth with the addition of the 25% more efficient E2 to their fleet. The first jet will arrive by the end of July this year, with all aircraft deliveries completed in Q3 2024. LOT requires a flexible solution for its capacity needs as the airline’s network grows. The E2 allows a seamless transition over just a few days for LOT’s existing E1 flight crews, and offers a spacious and comfortable cabin experience for passengers, delivering an unmatched travel experience with no middle seats. The new E2s also add flexibility, complementing LOTs larger narrow body aircraft at similar seat costs. “Embracing the future with a nod to our pioneering past, we are pleased to announce the lease of three state-of-the-art Embraer E195-E2 jets from Azorra. This enhancement to our fleet not only marks our continued commitment to sustainable aviation but also celebrates our partnership with Embraer since the introduction of the first E-jet in 2004. With the E195-E2’s efficiency and passenger comfort, we are set to enhance our network, introducing additional frequencies to selected destinations” – said Michał Fijoł, CEO of LOT Polish Airlines. Arjan Meijer, President and CEO, Embraer Commercial Aviation, said, “LOT is a pioneer airline, the global launch customer for the E-jets, and though 90 airlines have since operated the aircraft - the first is always special. LOT’s first move into the E2 is an important moment for Embraer. We’re celebrating LOT’s first E2s, the 20th anniversary of the E-jet program, and our 25-year relationship with Poland’s flag carrier – the first Embraer aircraft delivered to LOT was the ERJ145 in 1999. We look forward to our continued partnership with LOT, including the new opportunities for the E2 – the most fuel efficient, quietest, and least costly jet to operate in the small narrowbody segment.” John Evans, CEO and founder of Azorra, said: “As an existing customer to Azorra, we’re proud to support LOT in its strategic growth and operation of one of the youngest fleets in Europe. These new E195-E2s from our orderbook offer demonstrable benefits for LOT, reducing fuel burn, carbon emissions and operating costs, while enhancing passenger comfort. We thank Embraer and Pratt & Whitney for their ongoing partnership as we continue to expand the E2’s customer base.” The airline will configure the E195-E2 aircraft in a comfortable layout with 136 seats. LOT was the first operator of the brand-new E-jet in 2004. The first flight, on 17th March 2004, was completed by an E170 from Poland’s capital to Vienna. The 85-minute, 520km flight to Vienna marked the beginning of the extraordinary success of Embraer’s new aircraft family; the 1800th E-jet in the program, an E190-E2, was recently delivered to a customer in the Middle East. Today LOT has a fleet of 43 E-jets making it one of the largest operators of E-jets in Europe. To date, LOT’s E-jet fleet has flown 850million kilometres, over 1.4m flight hours, and has carried more than 60m passengers – almost twice the population of Poland.

Under the patronage of HRH Prince Faisal Bin Al Hussein, two Embraer 195-E2 aircraft join the RJ fleet
Under the patronage of His Royal Highness Prince Faisal Bin Al-Hussein, the first two Embraer E195-E2, out of the planned eight such aircraft, joined the RJ fleet to serve the short- and medium-range routes. Prince Faisal toured the aircraft and was briefed by RJ Vice Chairman/CEO Samer Majali about the features of this type of aircraft that will be an important enabler of growth, which is part of RJ’s plan in the Levant, by making it possible to increase frequencies to current markets, thus offering passengers more choices, and due to its high operating and fuel efficiency. Majali spoke about RJ’s fleet modernization plan and the fact that the airline will operate 41 planes in the coming few years. In its 60th year, RJ enters an era of modernity and development with the introduction of eight Embraer 195 and 190-E2 regional aircraft, narrow-body A320 neo aircraft and wide-body Boeing 787-9. It will also expand its route network and reach new destinations, to reach 60 points around the world. Majali expressed optimism for the coming stage on RJ’s journey, including that it will get back to profitability, despite the current regional situation. According to Majali, following extensive feasibility studies, RJ selected Embraer’s E2 as the best fit for its financial objectives and network strategy. These aircraft significantly reduce the investment cost of pilot training and spare parts provisioning, while also making crew scheduling easier and lowering maintenance costs. He pointed out that Royal Jordanian has reinvented its livery, making it more modern and youthful without changing the main elements of RJ’s identity, which are proudly displayed on its aircraft. The new design will gradually be rolled out to the rest of the fleet, presenting a more modern design and colors that signal the beginning of a new era of creativity. Royal Jordanian has always named its planes after Jordanian cities, in a bid to promote the country as a tourist destination; the new aircraft bear the names of the cities of Ramtha and Ma’an. The E2 regional jets provide next generation environmental efficiency, and customers will discover a relaxed atmosphere and comfortable seating, while enjoying Wi-Fi connection during their flight.

It reinforces our commitment to operating a modern and fuel-efficient fleet and brings us a step nearer to offering more travel opportunities to our customers. As the first Singaporean carrier to operate the E2s, we look forward to enhancing connectivity in Asia and the further development of Singapore as a hub for regional travel.” The E190-E2 and the E195-E2 were designed using the 20 million hours of experience the first generation of E-Jets accrued, ensuring that the E2 aircraft are modern and advanced, yet retain the maturity and reliability of the previous generation aircraft. The first-generation of E-Jets is one of the most successful commercial aircraft programs in the industry flying with more than 80 airlines in 50 countries. Recently, Embraer and CAE announced the establishment in Singapore of a state-of-the-art E2 full flight simulator and pilot training program, which will commence operations by the end of this year.
