Embraer delivered its 1800th E-Jet aircraft with the handover of third E190-E2 to Royal Jordanian Airlines at Embraer’s facility in São José dos Campos, Brazil.
The Jordan’s flag carrier airline is already operating four first-generation E-Jets,, with a total of eight E2s expected under the current agreement.
E-Jet series aircraft entered service in 2004 and are currently serving in the fleets of 90 airlines and leasing companies across more than 60 countries. Over two decades, this family of aircraft have transported two billion passengers on 26 million flights, and covering 140 million kilometres.
“We are delighted to participate in the milestone celebrations for Embraer and the E-jet program, recognizing the longstanding collaboration between Royal Jordanian and Embraer, supported by our valued partners at Azorra,” said Samer Majali, Vice Chairman and CEO of Royal Jordanian Airlines. “The E2 family of aircraft supports our strategic aims and seamlessly integrates with our vision for regional connectivity and growth.”
“Together with Embraer and our esteemed partners at Azorra, we look forward to delivering exceptional passenger experience, while contributing to a more sustainable aviation industry," he added.
“For Azorra to be part of this milestone is a true honour and we thank Embraer and our friends at Royal Jordanian for their ongoing partnership. With our E2 orderbook and growing number of airline customers, we continue to see a bright future for these aircraft,” noted John Evans, CEO and founder of Azorra.
“We’re always looking for ways to make our aircraft better – reducing operating costs, extending maintenance intervals, and adding new technology. Later this year we will announce a number of performance improvements for the E2, which has also proven it is ready to fly on 100% SAF,” said Arjan Meijer, President and CEO of Embraer Commercial Aviation.
“The E2 continues to demonstrate its advantages in fuel burn, emissions, quietness, reliability, and passenger comfort, and airlines are taking notice.” he concluded.
