LOT Polish Airlines has continued to expand its Embraer fleet with the delivery of its first E195-E2 variant.
The airline became the first operator in the world of the new Embraer E-Jet series when it took delivery of its first E170.
Now, the airline is building its fleet on the lower fuel burn of the newer type to bolster its fleet and allow network expansion, with the first of three of the type being handed over.
The first aircraft has the registration SP-LEA; the three new aircraft are leased from Azorra.
“Twenty years after the delivery of the first Embraer E-170, the LOT Polish Airlines fleet will be expanded by three Embraer E195-E2 aircraft. With these aircraft, we will increase the frequency of flights to selected European cities, offering passengers a high level of comfort in the latest generation fleet. The introduction of new, low-emission aircraft is also part of the implementation of our “Destination ECO” strategy. LOT Polish Airlines is today one of the largest Embraer operators in Europe, so we are happy to welcome further state-of-the-art aircraft, inviting our passengers to travel together,” says Michał Fijoł, President of the Management Board of LOT Polish Airlines.
Arjan Meijer, President and CEO, Embraer Commercial Aviation, said, “We welcome our long term partner LOT as the 17th E2 operator 20 years after they inducted their first E170 as the global launch customer for the E-jets.”
