Binter Canarias to Take Delivery of First E195-E2 in H2 2019

Binter Canarias will become the first European customer of the E195-E2 when it takes delivery of its first jet in the second half of 2019.

The airline will configure the aircraft with 132 seats in a single-class layout.

“At Binter we have always believed in offering our customers quality service and, for us, fleet modernization is paramount,” said Binter’s Vice President, Rodolfo Núñez, who recalled that the airline will celebrate its 30 years in 2019, with a very modern fleet. “We are convinced that the E195-E2 is the ideal aircraft model for our operations.”

Binter Canarias signed a firm order with Embraer for three E195-E2s with purchase rights for two additional aircraft of the same model. With all options being exercised, the contract has a list price of USD 342 million.

Martyn Holmes, Vice President, Europe, Russia & Central Asia, Embraer Commercial Aviation, said, “Embraer’s E2 family is the quietest, cleanest and most fuel efficient next-generation single-aisle aircraft family in the world. Compared to the regional jets currently utilized by Binter, the E195-E2 will provide greater operational flexibility with more seats, more range and unmatched passenger comfort, with lower operating costs.”
