6th March 2013
Helvetic Airways has received its first of 12 E190-E2 jet from Embraer under a firm order agreement.
The airline also has purchase rights for a further 12 E190-E2, with conversion rights to the E195-E2, bringing the total potential order up to 24 E-Jets E2s.
Martyn Holmes, vice president Europe, Russia & Central Asia, Embraer commercial aviation, commented: “As the only Swiss airline to operate Embraer aircraft, Helvetic Airways already stands out from the competition.
“And, with our state-of-the-art E190-E2, it now has the perfect aircraft, in terms of environmental sustainability and to maximize the profitability of its flight operations.”
This E190-E2 aircraft marks the start of Helvetic’s fleet renewal program. The purchase rights for a further 12 aircraft (E190-E2 or E195-E2) will enable Helvetic Airways to grow according to market opportunities.
