Nordic Aviation Capital (NAC) has committed to lease two Embraer E195 and one Embraer E175 to Air Burkina, the first of which was delivered in November 2018 to a delegation of the airline led by Transport Minister Vincent Dabilgou and CEO Blaise Sanou. The remaining E195 and the E175 are planned to join Air Burkina’s fleet in December 2018 and January 2019, respectively. Air Burkina intends to use the aircraft to replace its current fleet of two Embraer E170 aircraft and to expand its network and frequencies.
Air Burkina is the national airline of Burkina Faso, operating scheduled services from its main base at Ouagadougou Airport to one domestic destination, Bobo-Dioulasso, as well as regional services to Togo, Benin, Mali, Niger, Côte d’Ivoire, Senegal and Ghana.
