Embraer (Brazil) has signed Finnair to a new firm order for EMBRAER 190s configured with 100 seats. The total value of the agreement is US$ 112.5 million. The first delivery is scheduled for 2010. The E-Jets continue to form a key part of Finnair’s fleet, enabling them to meet route demand and offer optimum flexibility and comfort. The Finnish airline currently operates ten EMBRAER 170s and six EMBRAER 190s.
The EMBRAER 170/190 family of E-Jets consists of four commercial jets with 70 to 122 seats, featuring advanced engineering design, efficient performance, outstanding operating economics, low emissions levels and a spacious cabin. The E-Jets can fly at a maximum cruising speed of Mach 0.82 and at 12,497 meters, with ranges of up to 2,400 nautical miles (4,448 km). The high degree of commonality among the four aircraft results in exceptional reductions for carriers, in terms of crew training, spare parts and maintenance costs. Another E-Jets key feature is the fly-by-wire technology used in the flight control systems, similar to that deployed on larger commercial jets and advanced military aircraft.
In December 2007 the EMBRAER 170/190 E-Jets had logged 764 firm orders from more than 40 customers in 25 countries.
