LOT Polish Airlines has taken delivery of its first Embraer E195-E2 (SP-LEA) less than three months after signing the deal.
The first of three jets leased via Azorra, will arrive in Poland shortly. LOT is adding the E2 to their fleet to enhance operational flexibility and accommodate network expansion. Reaffirming LOT’s commitment to sustainability, the E195-E2 delivers 12.5% lower fuel burn and emissions, and is significantly quieter than its closest competitor aircraft. All three aircraft are expected to be delivered by October.
LOT was the first operator of the brand new E-Jets in 2004. The first revenue flight, on March 17, 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.
