Embraer Delivers First Two E-175s To Republic Airlines

First US-Spec 175s Will Fly Under US Airways Express Banner

Aero-News has learned Embraer delivered the first two Embraer 175 jets to US-based operator Republic Airlines last week, marking the beginning of this model’s flight in the US domestic market. The company has placed firm orders for 30 Embraer 175 jets, which will be operated by the carrier for US Airways Express.

The new Embraer175, configured with 86 single-class seats, is the second E-Jet model flying the colors of US Airways Express. In 2004, US Airways Express was the launch customer of the Embraer 170.

"We are excited to be the first operator to introduce the new Embraer 175 aircraft in the US," said Bryan Bedford, Chairman, President and Chief Executive Officer of Republic Airways Holdings. "Operating aircraft from the same E-Jet family allows us to match demand and boost efficiency, while maintaining low costs. In addition, passengers love this aircraft for its spacious interior design and, particularly, the absence of a middle seat."

"We are very pleased to deliver two more jets to Republic Airlines, in continuation of our longstanding relationship," said Frederico Fleury Curado, Embraer Executive Vice-President, Airline Market. "Adding the Embraer 175 aircraft to Republic’s fleet emphasizes the airline’s confidence in the flexibility we provide, which is needed to match demand with the right aircraft size."

The new E-Jets are expected to enter service in March 2007. Republic already flies 76 Embraer 170 jets.

The Embraer 175 is the second of four members of the 70 to 120-seat E-Jets family. Today, E-Jets and ERJ 145 families are flying with 78 airlines in 45 countries around the world.
