Aircraft lessor Azorra delivered the first two Embraer E195-E2 aircraft to Royal Jordanian Airlines at a ceremony at Embraer’s facility in São José dos Campos on January 22, which was followed by an arrival celebration in Amman, Jordan, hosted by Royal Jordanian Airlines on January 25.
The full agreement, announced in May 2023, is for eight aircraft in total – six aircraft from Azorra’s existing backlog with Embraer, plus two further E195-E2 firm orders from the airline directly with Embraer.
John Evans, CEO and founder of Azorra, said: “Our team’s longstanding partnership with Royal Jordanian began more than a decade ago. From the Embraer E175 to these next-generation E2 aircraft today, we’re proud to continue our support of Royal Jordanian, and the airline’s fleet modernisation and expansion goals. We’re confident Royal Jordanian will soon see the environmental and economic advantages of operating these new E2 aircraft, while offering superior levels of passenger comfort.”
