BA place regional jets order
22.12.08
British Airways has placed orders for a fleet of 11 fuel efficient aircraft for regional subsidiary BA CityFlyer. BA will take delivery of the first of its new Embraer aircraft, which will fly from London City Airport, from September 2009.
Orders have been placed for six Embraer 170 and five 190SR efficiency aircraft, known as E-jets, with options for three more, in an investment worth US$376m based on current list prices. The Embraer 190SRs and Embraer 170s will be operated on routes from London City to Scotland, Ireland and Europe.
The new planes will replace the existing fleet of 10 Avro RJ100 and two RJ85 aircraft. The Embraer 170 will improve CO2 emissions and reduce fuel costs by up to 56% versus the RJ fleet and the 190SR will improve CO2 emissions and reduce fuel costs by up to 28%.
