Belavia receives two E-Jets for fleet renewal

Belavia Belarusian Airlines took delivery of two Embraer E-Jets, an E195 and an E175, on April 20 and 21.

The Minsk-based carrier expects delivery of another E195 by the end of April. The aircraft, leased from Nordic Aviation Capital, are configured in a dual class, with the E195 seating 107 passengers and the E175 seating 76. 

The E-Jets, set to begin operations April 23, will be used on most of Belavia’s network, including new routes to Moscow Sheremetyevo and Tallinn, Estonia, the carrier said.

Belavia’s fleet includes 17 Boeing 737-300/500/800s, three Bombardier CRJ200LRs, three E175s and four E195s.

The carrier ordered three E195s and two E175s from Nordic Aviation Capital in April 2018. That was the biggest order for the airline. The last two aircraft from the order are set to be delivered at the end of 2019 and in April 2020. E-Jets will replace CRJ200s aircraft in the near future, the carrier said.
