EMBRAER 190 Jet to Expand TRIP Linhas Aereas Fleet
Largest regional airline in South America already operates six EMBRAER 175 jets
SAO JOSE DOS CAMPOS, Brazil, July 19 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Embraer and TRIP Linhas Aereas announced the closing of a contract for the sale of two EMBRAER 190 jets today, at the 47th Farnborough International Airshow, in England. The aircraft will be configured with 106 seats, and the value of the deal, at list price, is US$ 80 million, based on January 2010 economic conditions.
TRIP currently operates six EMBRAER 175 jets with a classic, single-class configuration of 86 seats. Five of the airplanes come from the contract signed with Embraer in June 2008 that also included options for another ten aircraft (two of which were confirmed today), and purchase rights for another 15. The other jet is used through a leasing contract with ECC Leasing, an Embraer wholly owned subsidiary.
The Brazilian airline should receive its first EMBRAER 190 airplane during the second quarter of 2011, thus increasing the carrying capacity of its EMBRAER 175s, which is now the biggest airplane in the company's fleet. For more information on the E-Jets, see www.EmbraerCommercialJets.com.
