Belavia, Belarusian Airlines, the national carrier of Belarus, has ordered one more current generation E195 jet for delivery in 2018. The firm order, with a list price value of US$53.5 million, will be included in Embraer’s 2017 fourth-quarter backlog.
“To receive a further order so soon after announcing their last order is a great source of pride for Embraer. It confirms that our aircraft and the team that supports them are delivering significant value to Belavia and their customers. Belavia’s success continues, their traffic has grown 20% year on year, and Embraer is ready to support further fleet growth and renewal,” said Martyn Holmes, Embraer Vice President Sales and Marketing for Europe, Middle East, and CIS.
Following Belavia’s firm order for two E-Jets (one E175 and one E195) announced at the Paris Air Show in June, the new contract will bring the airline’s Embraer fleet to seven aircraft – four E195 and three E175 – when deliveries are completed in 2018. The acquisition is an essential part of Belavia’s fleet renewal initiative; a core priority in the airline’s business strategy to offer high quality air travel to its customers. Configured in a dual class, the E195 will replace the existing Boeing 737-500 on Belavia’s fleet.
