Embraer
delivered its 100th E-Jet last week, an Embraer 175 belonging to Air
Canada. The airline has already placed nine jets of this model in scheduled passenger service. Delivery of the 100th
Embraer 170/190 aircraft comes only 19 months after Embraer’s first E-Jet delivery.
“The delivery of our 100th E-Jet is a great achievement for our new family of aircraft. We
are honored that Air Canada, our first worldwide Embraer 175 operator, is
receiving this commemorative airplane,” said Frederico Fleury Curado, Embraer's Executive Vice-President, Airline Market. “With 60
Embraer E-Jets on firm order - 15 Embraer 175s and 45 Embraer 190s, Air Canada is uniquely positioned to reap the benefits of this new
family of aircraft, specifically designed for the 70 to 110 seat market.”
Air Canada ordered 15
Embraer 175s, with deliveries to be completed in January 2006. Configured to offer premium comfort and service to 73 passengers in two
classes, the carrier’s new airliners have nine Executive seats plus 64 Hospitality seats, and offer an inflight
entertainment system with individual screens for all passengers.
Air Canada also has 45 93-passenger
Embraer 190 aircraft on firm order.
