Embraer and Nigeria’s largest airline Air Peace have signed a firm order for 10 E195-E2 jets. With this order, Air Peace will become the first E-Jets E2 operator in Africa.
The contract includes purchase rights for a further 20 E195-E2. With all purchase rights being exercised, the contract has a value of US$ 2.12 billion, based on current list prices. The order will be included in Embraer’s 2019 second-quarter backlog.
Air Peace has grown rapidly since it commenced flight operations in 2014 and is now the largest airline in West Africa. The airline intends to address the significant untapped demand in the African market with the E195-E2.
