SAO JOSE DOS CAMPOS, Brazil,
Dec. 18, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- Embraer
announced that it delivered the first two E195 jets to Tianjin
Airlines, the launch customer of this aircraft model in
China. These two aircraft are part
of the sales agreement Tianjin Airlines signed with Embraer in 2014
for 20 E195 and 20 E190 E2 jets, during Chinese President Xi
Jinping's visit to Brazil.
"China's regional aviation
industry has just taken off and will be the most robust in the
world in the next decade," said Paulo Cesar
Silva, President & CEO, Embraer Commercial Aviation.
"Embraer is glad to engage in this transformation and improve
connectivity with our regional aircraft. We also hope the incoming
E195 aircraft will help optimize our customer's fleet structure and
create more value for Tianjin Airlines."
Guan Dongyuan, Senior Vice President of Embraer and President of
Embraer China, said: "Tianjin Airlines is not only Embraer's
largest customer in the Asia-Pacific region but also our first
Authorized Service Center in China. The notable achievements Tianjin
Airlines has made demonstrate the advantages of Embraer commercial
aircraft. Embraer China will use this opportunity to further deepen
the cooperation with Tianjin Airlines, offering our reliable,
fuel-efficient products, as well as our most devoted customer
support and services."
Currently, Tianjin Airlines operates the largest Embraer E190
fleet (45 aircraft) in China,
mainly serving secondary trunk lines and regional lines.
Du Xiaoping, President of Tianjin
Airlines, said the incoming E195 fleet will play a strategic role
to the company's development. "We are very satisfied with the
current E190 fleet we are operating and we believe the new E195
fleet, with more seats and equally excellent operational economics,
will allow us to meet the surging demands of air travel in
China and help achieve our
development goals."
To date, Embraer Commercial Aviation has achieved an 80% share
of the Chinese regional aviation market. Currently, Embraer has 224
firm orders in China, including
188 firm order (21 aircraft are pending government approval) for
commercial jets, 130 of which have been delivered.
