Specialist regional aircraft lessor, TrueNoord, has recently taken delivery of its fourth Embraer E195-E2 at São José dos Campos in Brazil. This next-generation jet is part of a fleet of six E2s that will be leased to Canadian operator, Porter Airlines, with the fifth and sixth aircraft scheduled for delivery later in 2023.
Anne-Bart Tieleman, TrueNoord CEO, expressed delight in adding Embraer’s most advanced aircraft to their fleet, expecting more to come in the future. These E195-E2 jets complement TrueNoord’s existing portfolio of 39 Embraer E1s, providing customers with a range of high-performing, fuel-efficient and environmentally friendly E-Jets to meet diverse requirements. This acquisition aligns with TrueNoord’s long-term strategy to invest in new-generation aircraft in the 50-150-seat category.
TrueNoord has enjoyed a strong partnership with Embraer over the years and this transaction further solidifies the Embraer-family of E-Jets as a cornerstone of its portfolio of modern regional aircraft. The collaboration is set to continue positively as its business and fleet continue to grow.
Arjan Meijer, President, and CEO of Embraer Commercial Aviation, praised the move, stating that TrueNoord’s transition into Embraer’s E2 family represents another strong endorsement for the E2 programme from a world-class player.
