British Airways Orders Two additional Embraer 190s for BA CityFlyer

British Airways has transformed two options on two Embraer 190 regional jets into firm orders.

The aircraft will be functioned by BA CityFlyer, British Airways’ wholly owned regional contributory, on routes from London City Airport (LCY).

Delivery of the two Embraer 190s to BA CityFlyer (BACF) is intended for the first quarter of 2011. At that point the carrier will be in service a total of 13 E-Jets, six Embraer 170s and seven Embraer 190s.

“We are chiefly arrogant to see BA CityFlyer persist building its fleet of E-Jets,” says Paulo César de Souza e Silva, Embraer’s executive vice president, airline market. “The flexibility and wide range of benefits that the E-Jets platform can offer are obviously being put to good use out of London City Airport by BACF.”

The two additional aircraft will facilitate British Airways to enlarge its route network from LCY, as well as new service to Stockholm-Arlanda Airport (ARN) in Sweden, which has stringent noise restrictions. BA CityFlyer will organize its new Embraer 190s with 98 seats.
