JAL Will Be First To Operate E-Jet In Country
Embraer announced this week it received certification last month
from the Japan Civil Aviation Bureau (JCAB) to operate the Embraer
170 jets in Japan.
The launch customer of this aircraft model in the country will
be Japan Airlines (JAL), whose Embraer 170 was delivered in
October. Embraer President & CEO Frederico Fleury Curado
received the type certification from JCAB General Director Mr.
Ryuhei Maeda.
"This certification represents an important milestone in the
history of the Embraer 170/190 family of jets, and even more so
when you consider the high level of requirements and technological
competence of Japan’s aviation authorities," said Frederico
Fleury Curado, Embraer President & CEO. "We already have two
E-Jets customers in the country and we anticipate good growth
perspectives for our products over the coming years."
Besides JAL, Suzuyo & Co. Ltd. also acquired two Embraer
170s, with purchase rights for one more of the same aircraft. The
model was chosen to form the initial fleet of Suzuyo’s Fuji
Dream Airlines, when the new Mt. Fuji Shizuoka Airport, located in
the central region of Japan, begins operations in 2009.
Embraer expects a demand of 1,270 jets in the 30- to 120-seat
segment, over the next 20 years, in the Asia Pacific region,
including China, for a total market value estimated at US$ 42
billion. This calculation shows 610 aircraft being delivered from
2008 to 2017 and another 660 from 2018 to 2027.
