Embraer's E-Jet Fleet Passes Two Million Flight Hours

Over 450 Airliners In Operation

Embraer's 170/190 family of E-Jets in operation, worldwide, recently surpassed the milestone of two million flight hours. Over 450 aircraft fly in service with 50 airlines, in more than 30 countries.

The family’s four jets -- Embraer 170, Embraer 175, Embraer 190, and Embraer 195 -- now operate on all continents. The Brazilian planemaker notes the aircraft have achieved a low rate of flight cancellations arising from technical problems (under 0.2% -- or less than two flights cancelled for every 1,000 made).

"The rapid expansion of the fleet of E-Jets, both in geographical terms and in the diversity of airlines that are already operating with this modern jet family, is based on the enormous flexibility that these aircraft offer. Since they entered operation, the E-Jets have been an important tool for increasing the efficiency of the airlines, and for air transportation that provides superior comfort to passengers," said Mauro Kern, Embraer Executive Vice President, Airline Market.

Since July, 30 E-Jets sales have been announced to customers in Austria (NIKI), China (Kun Peng), Mexico (Aeroméxico), Mozambique (LAM), Saudi Arabia (NAS Aviation), and the Republic of Montenegro (Montenegro Airlines).

Embraer says the order book for the 170/190 family closed out the third quarter of 2008 with 865 firm orders and 813 options. During that period, the list of operators welcomed three new airlines: Kun Peng, China; TACA, El Salvador; and Virgin Nigeria.
