Embraer and LAM – Linhas Aereas de Mocambique signed a contract for two EMBRAER 190 aircraft, plus two purchase rights for the same model. The total value of the deal is $75 million, at list price, and could double, if all purchase rights are exercised. The E-Jets will replace older narrow-body jets operated by LAM for domestic routes, as well as for regional flights, mainly to Angola, Kenya, and South Africa.
The first delivery is scheduled for the second half of 2009, and the aircraft will be based in the nation’s capital, Maputo.
