LOT receives first of three E195-E2 aircraft

The Polish national carrier, LOT Polish Airlines has taken delivery of its first Embraer E195-E2. The first of three aircraft, leased via Azorra, will be delivered to the airline in Poland, with LOT adding the E2 to its fleet in order to increase operational flexibility and to help accommodate its network expansion. ""Twenty years after the delivery of the first Embraer E-170, the LOT Polish Airlines fleet will be expanded by three Embraer E195-E2 aircraft,” said Micha? Fijo?, president of the management board of LOT Polish Airlines. The Polish airline was the first operator of the brand-new Embraer E-Jet back in 2004. Arjan Meijer, president and CEO of Embraer commercial aviation said: “We welcome our long-term partner LOT as the 17th E2 operator 20 years after they inducted their first E170 as the global launch customer for the E-jets - in the last two years the number of E2 operators has almost doubled.” LOT took delivery of its first E2 jet less than three months after signing the aircraft deal. All three aircraft are expected to be delivered to the airline by October.
