Airline Plans To Double E-Jets In Operation By Year's End
The first of nine E-190 jets was delivered to TRIP
Linhas Aereas Thursday, in a ceremony held at the Embraer's
headquarters in Sao Jose dos Campos. The Brazilian airline
currently operates a fleet of nine Embraer 175 jets, and should
receive eight additional Embraer 190 jets by the end of this
year.
"The successful partnership between Embraer and TRIP gains new
impetus with the addition of the Embraer 190 to its fleet,
and consolidates the E-Jets as ideal aircraft for expanding
Brazil's air transportation network, which is still too
concentrated in very few urban centers," said Paulo Cesar Souza e
Silva, Embraer President, Commercial Aviation Market. "We feel very
honored to be able to contribute, through our products, to the
strong growth of or TRIP, and to the excellent results it has
obtained in recent years."
TRIP's Embraer 190 jet is configured in a single class
accommodates 110 passengers. With this aircraft, TRIP intends to
expand to more destinations in Brazil, taking advantage of the
moment with its increased air transportation demand within the
domestic market. The nine Embraer 175 jets operated by the
airline are configured in a single class for 86 passengers. The
total E-Jets flown by TRIP comes to 24, taking into consideration
both the aircraft acquired directly from Embraer and through
leasing companies.
"The beginning of operations of the Embraer 190 marks an
important moment for our company, investing in very economically
efficient aircraft, with a high level of cabin comfort, and a
commercial success, worldwide. The aircraft will be used both to
consolidate our mature markets and to add others to our
wide-ranging network," said Jose Mario Caprioli dos Santos,
President of TRIP Linhas Aereas. "They will be an important tool
for maintaining our standard of quality and aggressive growth in
the Brazilian marketplace, which, at the same time as it shows
great potential for new passengers, it is also an extremely
competitive atmosphere."
