To see the E190 flying in the airline's colors is really rewarding for Embraer," said Reinaldo Krugner, Vice President, Latin America & Caribbean, Embraer Commercial Aviation. "The E190 is the ideal aircraft to support the airline's growing capacity in a very disciplined way. Amaszonas is taking advantage of the E190's low operating cost."
The first two E190s will be leased from GECAS and will have 112 seats in a single-class layout. The other four aircraft will be leased from CDB Leasing and will be configured with 110 seats in a single-class layout. The airline will also fly the E190s at Montevideo's Carrasco International Airport in the future.
"The range of the E190 allows us to replace our smaller regional jets and support our expansion plans in Bolivia and Uruguay," Sergio de Urioste, President & CEO of Amaszonas Linea Aerea. "Our E-Jets give us the flexibility we need to add more frequencies and destinations. We know our passengers are going to love the comfort of the E190 cabin."
