CDB Aviation, a wholly owned Irish subsidiary of China Development Bank Financial Leasing Co., (CDB Leasing), has delivered two Embraer E190-100LR aircraft to a new customer, French regional airline Regourd Aviation (Amelia).
Based in France, Regourd Aviation provides ACMI, charter services, and medical evacuations under the brands Amelia and Amelia International.
“We are delighted to have collaborated on executing this finance lease transaction for two of our E190 aircraft with our new Europe-based customer and thank the Amelia team for their co-operation throughout the process,” commented CDB Aviation Head of Commercial, EMEA Gavan Daly. “These E190 aircraft will support Amelia’s fleet growth strategy and are the beginning of a new chapter for one of France’s oldest airlines.”
"With the delivery of these two Embraer 190 aircraft, Amelia shows its commitment to sustainable growth. These two aircraft will fill the gap between our 50 seaters and the Airbus A319. Compared with our current Embraer 145, they will reduce our CO2 footprint per SKO by 30%. Amelia would like to thank the CDB Aviation team for their cooperation with the delivery of these aircraft. We are working hard to start the operations of these aircraft at the beginning of the summer," said Alain Regourd, Chief Executive Officer of Amelia.
