Testimonials of Excellence
“Embracing the future with a nod to our pioneering past, we are pleased to announce the lease of three state-of-the-art Embraer E195-E2 jets from Azorra. This enhancement to our fleet not only marks our continued commitment to sustainable aviation but also celebrates our partnership with Embraer since the introduction of the first E-jet in 2004. With the E195-E2’s efficiency and passenger comfort, we are set to enhance our network, introducing additional frequencies to selected destinations” – said Michał Fijoł, CEO of LOT Polish Airlines.
Arjan Meijer, President and CEO, Embraer Commercial Aviation, said, “LOT is a pioneer airline, the global launch customer for the E-jets, and though 90 airlines have since operated the aircraft – the first is always special. LOT’s first move into the E2 is an important moment for Embraer. We’re celebrating LOT’s first E2s, the 20th anniversary of the E-jet program, and our 25-year relationship with Poland’s flag carrier – the first Embraer aircraft delivered to LOT was the ERJ145 in 1999. We look forward to our continued partnership with LOT, including the new opportunities for the E2 – the most fuel-efficient, quietest, and least costly jet to operate in the small narrowbody segment.”
John Evans, CEO and founder of Azorra, said: “As an existing customer of Azorra, we’re proud to support LOT in its strategic growth and operation of one of the youngest fleets in Europe. These new E195-E2s from our order book offer demonstrable benefits for LOT, reducing fuel burn, carbon emissions and operating costs, while enhancing passenger comfort. We thank Embraer and Pratt & Whitney for their ongoing partnership as we continue to expand the E2’s customer base.”
Looking Towards the Future
The airline will configure the E195-E2 aircraft in a comfortable layout with 136 seats. LOT was the first operator of the brand-new E-jet in 2004. The first flight, on 17th March 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 E190-E2, was recently delivered to a customer in the Middle East.
Today LOT has a fleet of 43 E-jets making it one of the largest operators of E-jets in Europe. To date, LOT’s E-jet fleet has flown 850million kilometres, over 1.4m flight hours, and has carried more than 60m passengers – almost twice the population of Poland.
Conclusion: A Bright Future Ahead
In conclusion, the introduction of three Embraer E195-E2 aircraft represents a significant milestone for LOT Polish Airlines and the aviation industry as a whole. With a commitment to sustainability, innovation, and excellence, LOT is poised to redefine the future of air travel and set new standards of excellence for airlines worldwide. As the airline prepares to embark on this exciting journey, passengers can look forward to a superior travel experience that combines comfort, efficiency, and environmental responsibility.
