Embraer has presented its new E195-E2 aircraft at Nikola Tesla Airport in Belgrade to representatives of Air Serbia and other industry professionals.
Air Serbia is currently expanding and modernising its fleet, having recently added two Embraer aircraft into service.
“Air Serbia’s network is constantly growing, and with it, our fleet. In the coming period, we will introduce two Embraer E195 aircraft into service,” said Boško Rupić, GM Commercial and Strategy at Air Serbia. “These aircraft, with 118 seats, are perfectly suited to our plans for further network expansion. We plan to gradually expand our Embraer fleet by adding a number of these aircraft. Before deciding on the E195, we closely collaborated with the Embraer team to find the aircraft type that best suits our needs.”
The transition to the new aircraft is relatively simple from the previous E195-E1, with two and a half days of training needed for pilots to fly the next-generation model. The E2 is suitable for short- and medium-haul flights.
“Our aircraft is 10% lighter and uses 12.5% less fuel than the competition,” commented Fernando Mainardi, VP of Sales Europe, Embraer Commercial Aviation. “Passengers will also enjoy Embraer’s trademark two plus two configuration – meaning no middle seats – plus larger overhead bins, mood lighting, and a quieter cabin. We are excited about the opportunities the E2 offers Air Serbia as it continues to grow and strengthen its position in the region.”
Air Serbia has a fleet of 25 ATR 42/72, Airbus A319, Airbus A320, and Airbus A330 aircraft.
