Asia’s Leading Lessor Buys First Embraer
Embraer and BOC Aviation, a Singapore-based aircraft leasing
company, have signed a contract for the sale of fifteen Embraer 190
aircraft (pictured in Air Canada livery). Deliveries are scheduled
from the fourth quarter of 2012 through 2014.
BOC Aviation is Embraer’s newest aircraft leasing company
customer. The manufacturer says the E190 is particularly attractive
to aircraft leasing companies for its operational versatility and
proven adaptability to a wide range of airline business models
around the world.
Paulo Cesar de Souza e Silva, Embraer President of Commercial
Aviation, says, “The expertise, experience, and market
penetration of BOC Aviation will provide our mutual airline
customers with a wider range of financing opportunities as airlines
continue to grow their E-Jet fleets. We are honored to have BOC
Aviation as our newest partner in the E-Jet program and we look
forward to working together and building this new
relationship.”
Robert Martin, Managing Director and Chief Executive Officer of
BOC Aviation, added “we see excellent potential for the E190
not only here in Asia where there is strong growth but also with
airlines around the world that have discovered the importance of
100-seat aircraft capacity, both in developing new markets and
complementing narrow-body operations with relevant economic gains.
The E190 will allow us to expand the range of BOC Aviation products
to customers in established and emerging markets.”
BOC Aviation describes itself as Asia’s leading
aircraft leasing company with a fleet of modern aircraft flying
with more than 40 airlines worldwide.
