"We are honored that Air Lease Corp., along with founder Steven
Udvar-Hazy, has put its trust and confidence with Embraer," stated
Paulo Cesar de Souza e Silva, Embraer Executive Vice President,
Airline Market. "This contract strengthens our commitment to Air
Lease as we aim to support them with our outstanding attributes of
our E-Jets as they introduce the aircraft mid next year."
The Embraer 190 is the third of the four members of the Embraer
170/190 family of E-Jets, a brand-new commercial aircraft that
entered service in August 2005. The jet may be configured in one or
two classes, seating 98 to 114 passengers in a comfortable
four-abreast (2-2), no-middleseat configuration, and can fly up to
2,400 nautical miles (4,448 kilometers) nonstop.
"This purchase order of the Embraer 190 aircraft begins a new
period in the growth of our company and the unique design of the
E-190 allows us to offer Air Lease customers a mainline product but
at regional jet operating economics," stated John L. Plueger,
President and COO of Air Lease Corp. "Since the initial
announcement made at the Farnborough Air Show, we have received
significant interest from customers from all parts of the world and
we look forward to providing an aircraft that meets their
needs.
