Will Join Company’s Existing Fleet Of Three E170s

Embraer and Cairo-based CIAF Leasing have signed a firm order for three E190 aircraft. The deal has a value of $161.4 million at current list prices and will be added to Embraer’s fourth quarter backlog.

The three new aircraft will join CIAF’s existing fleet of three E170s, two of which are on lease with Jasmin Airways, the other with Air Cairo. CIAF are also due to receive two E195s in mid-November.

"The three new E190s will be an excellent addition to our growing fleet of Embraer E-Jets," said Dr. Hassan Mohamed, Chairman and CEO of CIAF Leasing. "With a fleet of E170s, E190s, and E195s, CIAF will have the flexibility to offer to both our wet and dry lease customers a service that fits their needs exactly.”

"CIAF is rapidly increasing its footprint in both wet and dry leasing with the addition of further aircraft to their fleet and the establishment of their own AOC (Air Operator Certificate) in June this year," said Raul Villaron, vice president Sales, Africa and Middle East, Embraer Commercial Aviation. "It’s a pleasure to work with an organisation that’s going from strength to strength by exploiting the benefits a family of aircraft can provide.”

All three aircraft will be delivered in the fourth quarter of 2020, in a new livery showing off CIAF’s new visual identity.
