He highlighted the airline's appreciation for the collaboration with Embraer and leasing company Azorra. Majali emphasized how the E2 family aligns perfectly with Royal Jordanian's strategic goals, specifically for regional network expansion and growth. He sees these new jets playing a pivotal role in modernizing their fleet while offering superior efficiency, flexibility, and passenger comfort.
Arjan Meijer, President and CEO of Embraer Commercial Aviation, echoed the sentiment, expressing his pleasure in reaching this milestone with Royal Jordanian and Azorra, both valued partners. This delivery marks a testament to the success of the E-Jet program, a favorite among airlines for its capabilities in the small narrowbody aircraft segment. Embraer remains focused on maintaining its leading position in this market.
The E-Jet program, launched in 2004, has garnered significant global recognition. Over 90 airlines and leasing companies in more than 60 countries around the world have incorporated E-Jets into their fleets, solidifying the program's impact on the commercial aviation landscape.
