Binter of Spain has introduced the first of five E195-E2 jet into its fleet.
The airline is the first European customer to receive the biggest of the three members of the E-Jets E2 family of commercial aircraft.
Binter president Pedro Agustín del Castillo said: “Today's event is very special for all of us, who are part of Binter. This Embraer E195-E2 aircraft is an important step in the history of our company that will become as well a jet operator.
"This new milestone, which coincides with the celebration of the 30th anniversary of Binter, adds more advances to the ones that we have made in recent years, and that help to pursue our main objective: the improvement of the connecting of the Canary Islands, both inter-island and with external destinations."
The acquisition of the E195-E2s is part of Binter’s overall fleet modernisation initiative.
In April, the E195-E2 received its Type Certificate from three regulatory authorities: ANAC, the Brazilian Civil Aviation Agency (Agência Nacional de Aviação Civil); the FAA (U.S. Federal Aviation Administration) and EASA (European Aviation Safety Agency).
