Airnorth Will Operate Plane Under Lease With JetScape
Embraer delivered an Embraer 170 jet this week to Australia's
Darwin-based Airnorth, during a ceremony held at Embraer's
headquarters in São José dos Campos, Brazil. The
airline is the launch customer of the Embraer 170 in Australia, and
is now adding this new aircraft to its fleet. The jet will be
operated by Airnorth under a lease with Jetscape, Inc., and comes
from Jetscape's firm orders.
"We are honored by the continued enthusiastic attitude of
Airnorth toward our aircraft," said Mauro Kern, Embraer Executive
Vice President, Airline Market. "The airline began using Embraer
planes with the EMB 120 Brasilia turboprop, in 1996, and has been a
loyal customer ever since. It is a great pleasure to now support
the expansion of their operations with another Embraer 170."
The Embraer 170 delivered to Airnorth is configured with 76
seats in a single-class layout. The jet allows the airline to
operate fully loaded direct services in any direction from Darwin,
capital of the Northern Territory, to every Australian capital
city, as well as Jakarta (Indonesia), Singapore, Kuala Lumpur
(Malaysia), Manila (Philippines), among other destinations, with an
outstanding comfort level.
"Customer response to this aircraft, in every single market
where we have operated it, has been overwhelming," said Airnorth's
Chief Executive Officer, Michael Bridge. "The first aircraft has
operated over 4,000 flights, since it was commissioned in August
2007."
