In a move to replace its smaller aircraft, TUI Group has selected Embraer’s E195-E2 to join the TUI fly Belgium fleet.
Three E195-E2 will be delivered by AerCap on a long term lease. The 136-seat single-class aircraft will be delivered in the first half of the next decade.
The seat and interiors suppliers were not made public.
North Belgium passengers will be served from the airline's base in Antwerp.
There are in quotes.
The Chief Airline Officer is Marco Ciomperlik.
“We are thrilled to add the E195-E2 to our Belgium fleet. Operating on short and medium haul routes, the new airplane is the most efficient aircraft in the market. It uses less fuel, has a longer range, while at the same time is 50% quieter and emits up to a third less carbon dioxide.
We will be able to expand into new holiday destinations from Northern Belgium thanks to the fact that the aeroplanes will operate mostly out of Antwerp.
The Managing Director of Fleet and Asset Management was added to the group.
“The selection of the E195-E2 is an important milestone to make TUI’s fleet even more efficient in support of our sustainability goals. Working together with AerCap, Embraer and Pratt & Whitney, we have agreed on an attractive package that enables TUI to provide travellers from regional airports in Belgium an even better start to their holidays,”
Peter Anderson is the chief commercial officer of AerCap.
“We are very pleased to announce the lease placement of three E195-E2s with TUI. AerCap has a long history of working with TUI and we are excited to be a part of their fleet renewal plan,”
“The E195-E2s are the perfect aircraft to support TUI’s operations with greater versatility and improved efficiencies, enabling them to meet their sustainability commitments. We wish TUI every success with the E2-Jets, and we look forward to working with them as these aircraft deliver.”
The Chief Commercial Officer of the company added.
“We welcome TUI, already operators of the first generation E190, to the E2 family of operators. The economics of the E195-E2 combined with its comfort, is a win win for TUI – allowing the operator to increase capacity and delight their guests, while still reducing fuel costs and lowering emissions. We’re pleased to continue our long relationship with TUI and thank AerCap for their partnership.”
There is an existing Embraer operation consisting of four E-190 aircraft, as well as a Boeing-based fleet with the exception of the Boeing 787-9 and the Boeing 734.
With three E195-E2 aircraft due to join the fleet, they are clearly targeting the existing Boeing737-700 aircraft that the airline wants to retire.
The efficacies of operating a slightly smaller aircraft with better seating options could work out in favor of the airline.
It should be easy to integrate the other E-jet aircraft when they arrive in 2023.
It is time for the airline to adjust their fleet since they have more Boeings on order.
