LOT Polish Airlines Takes Delivery of First Embraer E195-E2
(05/08/24)
LOT Polish Airlines has taken delivery of its
first Embraer E195-E2, less than three months after signing a deal
to lease three of the jets via Azorra.
All three aircraft are expected to be delivered by
October.
The E195-E2 is not only more fuel efficient but
also significantly quieter than previous generation aircraft.

“We welcome our long term partner LOT
as the 17th E2 operator 20 years after they inducted their first
E170 as the global launch customer for the E-jets – in the last
two years the number of E2 operators has almost doubled (88%).
Along with our leasing colleagues at Azorra, we are proud to have
been able to deliver these jets in double quick time to meet our
customer’s needs,” said Arjan Meijer, President and CEO, Embraer
Commercial Aviation. “We look forward to our continued partnership
with LOT, including the new opportunities for the E2 – the most
fuel efficient, quietest, and least costly jet to operate in the
small narrowbody segment.”
LOT was the first operator of the brand new E-Jets
in 2004. The first revenue flight, on 17th March 2004, was
completed by an E170 from Poland’s capital to Vienna. The
85-minute, 520km flight to Vienna marked the beginning of the
extraordinary success of Embraer’s new aircraft family; the 1800th
E-Jet in the program, an E195-E2, was delivered to a customer in
May this year.
“Twenty years after the delivery of the first
Embraer E-170, the LOT Polish Airlines fleet will be expanded by
three Embraer E195-E2 aircraft,” said says Michał Fijoł, President of the Management Board of
LOT Polish Airlines. “With these aircraft, we will increase the
frequency of flights to select European cities, offering
passengers a high level of comfort in the latest generation fleet.
The introduction of new, low-emission aircraft is also part of the
implementation of our ‘Destination ECO’ strategy. LOT Polish
Airlines is today one of the largest Embraer operators in Europe,
so we are happy to welcome further state-of-the-art aircraft,
inviting our passengers to travel together.”
