Receives E190 Firm Order From JAL
Japan Airlines has placed a firm order with Embraer for an additional E190 after Embraer marks one year of E190 operations in Japan. Japan Airlines' subsidiary J-AIR made its first E190 revenue flight in May 2016. J-AIR currently operates seven E190s and 17 E170s – 24 E-Jets in total, with an additional eight E-Jets on backlog. The firm order has a value of $50.6 million, based on 2017 list prices, and will be included in Embraer's 2017 second-quarter backlog.
"The E190s have added value to our fleet strategy by enhancing seat capacity and dual-class products on regional routes, stimulating demand and contributing to the revitalization of regional routes," said Tetsuya Onuki, President of J-AIR Corporation. "In our twelfth month of operations, the E190 fleet has shown a remarkable service reliability of 99.85%, enabling J-AIR to deliver on our on-time promise to customers."
"J-AIR's combination of E170s and E190s in its fleet has enabled the airline to sustainably develop new routes and offer better customer convenience and comfort to their customers" said Arjan Meijer, Chief Commercial Officer, Embraer Commercial Aviation. "We are proud to see how the E-Jets add value to JAL's fleet strategy and we will continue to work hard to exceed their expectations."
J-AIR's E190 fleet is based at the airline's Osaka (Itami) base and features a dual-class arrangement with 95 seats, including the well-received Class J (business class) seats, and Free Video Program services for Wi-Fi devices. J-Air's E190s currently fly to seven routes in Japan now including service to Niigata from Osaka (Itami) and Sapporo which started from June 8 and network growth will continue to include cities like Tokyo (Haneda).
The company maintains industrial units, offices, service and parts distribution centers, among other activities, across the Americas, Africa, Asia and Europe.
