FlemishJet Airlines goes Embraer with the E-Jet
Fokker 70/100 will be returned to lessors upon arrival of new Embraer 170 and 190 jets
Antwerp-based startup carrier FlemishJet may retire Fokker Jets as soon as a few months after services begins. Instead, it will use Embraer jets on it's services. FlemishJet is currently planning to place a firm order for 2 Embraer 170 jets and a single Embraer 190, and may order more as the airline grows. "Embraer E-jets are known for their comfortable, spacious cabins and their quiet, fuel-efficient engines. For a business airline such as FlemishJet, it is a perfect aircraft", says the CEO. The aircraft will be fitted with large leather seats and will be equipped with an advanced entertainment system with a touch-screen interface, 22 audio channels, 17 video channels, 12 games, internet access and satellite television. The entertainment system also serves as an information kiosk. Power ports are also available at every seat.
