02-Dec-2016 Embraer reached another milestone today with its E-Jets program - the delivery of the 1,300th aircraft. The E-Jet, an E195, was handed over to China's Tianjin Airlines in a ceremony at the factory in São José dos Campos. This delivery brings the Tianjin Airlines E-Jet fleet to 45, the largest in Asia.

"We dedicate this milestone to all our customers who have embraced the E-Jets philosophy. Without each of them, we would never have achieved such success with the program," said John Slattery, President & CEO, Embraer Commercial Aviation. "It's a great pleasure to share this exciting moment with Tianjin. We've been partners for many years and we look forward to many more decades, as the airline grows with the E2."

During Chinese President Xi Jinping's 2014 state visit to Brazil, Embraer and Tianjin Airlines signed an agreement for up to 20 E195s and 20 E190-E2s. The first E2 is scheduled to be delivered to Tianjin Airlines in 2018.

Tianjin Airlines is among Embraer's earliest customers in China. In 2008, it became the first airline to operate an E-Jet in the country. It is also the Embraer Authorized Service Center in the region.

Liu Lu, Executive Chairman and President of Tianjin Airlines, said this is another milestone for Tianjin Airlines. "Tianjin Airlines started as a regional carrier, and E-Jets have played a crucial role in our fleet optimization and route expansion. Tianjin Airlines is also the largest E-Jets operator in Asia with 62 aircraft, which redefined the operation model of regional aviation in China. We are proud to receive the 1,300th E-Jet of Embraer and we look forward to the new E-Jets E2 to bring us even more value."

Embraer has been leading the Chinese regional aviation industry with a market share around 80% of regional jet orders. To date, the company has logged orders for 190 commercial aircraft, 21 of which are pending government approval.

Embraer is the world's leading manufacturer of commercial jets up to 130 seats. More than 100 customers around the world fly the ERJ and E-Jet families of aircraft. For the E-Jets program alone, Embraer has logged more than 1,700 orders and 1,300 deliveries, redefining the traditional concept of regional aircraft by operating across a range of business applications.

巴航工业向天航交付第1300架E-系列喷气飞机

巴西航空工业公司今天迎来了又一个里程碑:在圣若泽杜斯坎普斯交付中心举行交付仪式,将巴航工业生产的第1,300架E-系列喷气飞机交付给中国天津航空有限责任公司。至此,天津航空运营的巴航工业E-系列喷气飞机机队已扩大到45架。

  "这一里程碑的取得归功于所有支持我们产品、接受我们理念的商用机客户们,没有他们的支持,我们的E-系列喷气飞机不可能取得今天的成就。"巴航工业商用航空部总裁兼首席执行官约翰·斯莱特里(John Slattery)表示。"巴航工业十分荣幸能与天津航空一起分享这一激动人心的时刻,天津航空是巴航工业长期的业务伙伴,随着E-Jets E2飞机交付的日子越来越近,我们希望能与天津航空携手并进,共同走向更辉煌的未来。"

  2014年,中国国家主席习近平对巴西进行国事访问期间,巴航工业与天津航空签署了一份包含20架E195和20架E-190E2的订单协议。其中,首架E-JetsE2飞机预计将于2018年交付天津航空。

  天津航空是巴航工业在中国市场最早的一批客户之一。2008年,天津航空成为中国首家运营E-系列喷气飞机的航空公司。同时,天津航空也是巴航工业在华的授权服务中心。

  天津航空执行董事长兼总裁刘璐表示:此架巴航工业飞机的交付是天津航空业务发展中的一座新里程碑。"天津航空从支线航空运营起步。在发展过程中,E-系列喷气飞机在优化机队规模及拓展航线方面起到了关键的作用。天津航空是亚洲地区最大的E-系列喷气飞机运营商,拥有62架巴航工业E-系列喷气飞机--这一运营模式重新定义了中国支线航空的发展道路。我们非常荣幸接收巴航工业交付的第1,300架E-系列喷气飞机,同时也十分期待新一代E-JetsE2机型能为公司创造更多价值。"

  多年来,巴航工业持续以约80%的市场份额引领中国支线航空市场。截至目前,巴航工业已在中国市场获得190架商用飞机的确认订单(其中21架等待政府最终批文)。

  巴西航空工业公司是全球领先的70-130座级商用喷气飞机制造商。目前,全球有超过100家客户运营巴航工业ERJ和E-系列喷气飞机。其中,E-系列喷气飞机凭借其灵活的商业用途,重新定义了支线航空的概念,在全球共赢得1700余架确认定单,交付量超过1300架。
