Embraer Delivers 1,200th E-Jet To Azul

Airline Took Delivery Of Its First E-Jet In 2008

In a ceremony held in Sao Jose dos Campos, Embraer delivered its 1,200th aircraft of the E-Jets family. The milestone airplane, an E195 model, was received by Azul Linhas Aereas Brasileiras S.A., a Brazilian airline, which operates the largest fleet of this jet type.

"Just as the E-Jets have been key to Azul's growth and consolidation, the airline was instrumental in popularizing the E-Jets with Brazilian passengers," said Paulo Cesar Silva, President & CEO, Embraer Commercial Aviation. "Together, both companies elevated the standards of efficiency and comfort in Brazilian aviation. The celebration of this E-Jet delivery is an expression of affection and admiration by all of us at Embraer to everyone who made Azul such a great success."

"This is a remarkable moment for Azul and Embraer. We are today the largest E195 operator in the world and we are proud of that. We transport thousands of Brazilians in a genuine Brazilian aircraft every day, always providing comfort and safety," said Antonoaldo Neves, President of Azul. "We truly believe that the decision to utilize Embraer products for the creation of Azul was key to the success of the Company. The E-Jets are recognized for reliability and flexibility."

The first delivery of an E-Jet to Azul occurred in December 2008, making it the first Brazilian airline to operate an aircraft from this family of commercial jets. The initial agreement was for 36 firm orders: 31 E195 and five E190 jets. Today, the airline has a total of 88 E-Jets in operation.

In May 2015, Embraer and Azul signed a purchase agreement for 50 E195-E2 jets, with 30 firm orders and 20 additional purchase rights. The first delivery is scheduled for the second quarter of 2020.
