Japanese Debut for E190

摘要

The first Embraer 190 has entered service in Japan. The aircraft, JA241J (c 19000708), is operated by J-AIR, a Japan Airlines subsidiary. The maiden flight was from Osaka/ltami to Kagoshima on May 10. "The E-Jets have proven their ability to help airlines maximise yield, and sustainably enter new markets, as in the case of Japan Airlines," Paulo Cesar Silva, President & CEO, Embraer Commercial Aviation remarked. "The E190 configured with 95 seats complements J-AIR's E170 operations. The extra capacity offered also reflects the steady growth of the domestic market. We are confident that our E-Jets will continue to add strong value to J-AIR's operations, and we are grateful to Japan Airlines for their trust and for the partnership we continue to enjoy."
