Breeze Airways is set to lease three Embraer E190s from TrueNoord as a part of portfolio of ten Embraers that TrueNoord acquired from Nordic Aviation Capital (NAC) earlier this year.
The three aircraft are based in US and already deployed across Breeze Airways network.
Garry Topp, Sales Director, Americas, TrueNoord commented: “We are very pleased to further expand our footprint in North America by adding three Breeze Airways’ operated Embraers to our portfolio. Breeze is shaping a strong and expanding business by offering point-to-point travel to new city pairs. This fly-direct option is delivering a sustainable and practical choice for US travellers, rather than transit through the large city hubs. As a lessor, TrueNoord specialises in the regional airline sector, and Breeze is innovating in this sector, so we see them as an excellent fit and welcome them to our global lessee family.”
Further commenting on the market recovery Topp added: "The vast US market will always have a need for regional connectivity for shorter and thinner routes at an attractive trip cost. New entrants, such as Breeze Airways, are also finding ways to develop the sector by creating new routes and expanding customer choice. For TrueNoord, the regional aviation sector in the US offers interesting opportunities for fleet renewal now and in the future as older aircraft are retired.”
