November 21st, Binter of Spain incorporated the first E195-E2 jet into their fleet. The airline is the first European customer to receive the E195-E2 commercial aircraft. Binter has placed firm orders for five E195-E2.
This Embraer E195-E2 aircraft is an important step in the history of our company that will become as well a jet operator. This new milestone, which coincides with the celebration of the 30th anniversary of Binter, adds more advances to the ones that we have made in recent years, and that help to pursue our main objective: the improvement of the connecting of the Canary Islands, both inter-island and with external destinations.
Binter’s President, Pedro Agustín del Castillo
The acquisition of the E195-E2 is part of Binter’s overall fleet modernisation initiative. The aircraft is configured with 132 seats in a single class.
The new aircraft will be deployed onto routes include eight cities in the Canary Islands, nine cities in Africa and two in Portugal.
In April, the E195-E2 received its Type Certificate from three regulatory authorities: ANAC, the Brazilian Civil Aviation Agency (Agência Nacional de Aviação Civil), the FAA (U.S. Federal Aviation Administration) and the EASA (European Aviation Safety Agency).
We’re extremely proud to deliver the first E195-E2 in Europe to such an accomplished regional airline. Binter will showcase the very best of the airplane as it expands its network to more cities.
