Belavia to add a further E195 to Embraer fleet

Embraer and Belavia, Belarusian Airlines, the national carrier of Belarus, have announced a further firm order for one current generation E195 jet for delivery in 2018. The firm order, with a list price value of US$53.5m, will be included in Embraer’s 2017 fourth-quarter backlog.
Following Belavia’s firm order for two E-Jets (one E175 and one E195) announced at the Paris Air Show in June, the new contract will bring the airline’s Embraer fleet to seven aircraft – four E195 and three E175 – when deliveries are completed in 2018. The acquisition is an essential part of Belavia’s fleet renewal initiative; a core priority in the airline’s business strategy to offer high quality air travel to its customers. Configured in a dual class, the E195 will replace the existing Boeing 737-500 on Belavia’s fleet.
