Republic Airways Adding Embraer 190s To Their Fleet

Score Another Win For Embraer

Republic Airways Holdings Inc. has announced a firm order for six Embraer 190 jets and a conditional firm order for 18 Embraer 190 or 195 jets. The agreement concludes a Letter of Intent (LOI) announced earlier this year. “We look forward to growing our fleet of E190 aircraft and to possibly featuring the E195 in our network”

Republic plans to take delivery of the six firm orders between August and December 2011. The aircraft will be placed into service within the network of Frontier Airlines, and operated by Republic Airlines. Each aircraft will be WiFi-enabled and configured with STRETCH seating, which offers Frontier customers in the first four rows an additional five inches of legroom.

“We look forward to growing our fleet of E190 aircraft and to possibly featuring the E195 in our network,” said Bryan Bedford, chairman, president and CEO of Republic Airways. “The E190 is a favorite among business and leisure travelers and offers us great operational flexibility as we continue to optimize our fleet in favor of larger, more economical aircraft.”

“Increasing the average seats per aircraft of the Frontier network will help us further improve our cost efficiency and allow us to more closely pair capacity with demand in a number of markets,” said Daniel Shurz, vice president of strategy and planning.

Republic Airways Holdings, based in Indianapolis, Indiana is an airline holding company that owns Chautauqua Airlines, Frontier Airlines, Lynx Aviation, Republic Airlines and Shuttle America. The airlines offer scheduled passenger service on approximately 1,600 flights daily to 127 cities in 42 states, Canada, Costa Rica, and Mexico under branded operations at Frontier, and through fixed-fee airline services agreements with five major U.S. airlines.

The airlines currently employ approximately 11,000 aviation professionals and operate 276 aircraft.
