Shanghai, China – Embraer officials have signed an agreement for up to five E190s with Colorful Guizhou Airlines, including two firm orders and three purchase rights. The firm order will be included in Embraer’s 2016 third-quarter backlog. The contract has an estimated value of $249 million at the current list price, if all purchase rights are exercised. The two aircraft will be delivered in 2017.
In June 2015, during the 51st International Paris Air Show, Colorful Guizhou Airlines placed an order for seven firm E190s, four of which have already been delivered.
Zhai Yan, chairman of Guizhou Industrial Investment (Group) Co. Ltd. and chairman of Colorful Guizhou Airlines, said, “As a newly-established and the first locally-owned airline in Guizhou province, Colorful Guizhou Airlines needs mature aircraft and services to guarantee our steady operation. Based on the aircraft’s performance during the past eight months, we are glad we picked Embraer’s E190, an aircraft model with good economy, unparalleled cabin comfort, and high reliability, which has enabled us to provide passengers with a good travel experience. We hope that the E190 fleet can help us build a sky passageway inside and beyond Guizhou province, and eventually contribute to improving the connectivity of China’s Southwest Region.”
Established in June, 2015, Colorful Guizhou Airlines completed its maiden flight only 216 days after its foundation, a miracle in the domestic aviation industry. Positioned as a low-cost regional and trunk carrier, Colorful Guizhou has already opened nine routes, transporting more than 140,000 passengers over the past eight months.
“Colorful Guizhou Airlines’ decision to purchase more E190s means a lot to Embraer,” said Guan Dongyuan, senior vice president of Embraer and president of Embraer China. “It is not only a recognition of our aircraft already in operation, but also a demonstration of the sincere trust between Embraer and Colorful Guizhou.”
Embraer has now logged 228 firm orders in China, including 190 commercial aircraft, 21 of which are pending government approval, and 38 executive jets. To date, 168 aircraft have been delivered.
Also, Embraer Executive Jets officials signed a firm order with Colorful Yunnan General Aviation Co. Ltd. for two Phenom 300 light business jets. Both aircraft are scheduled to be delivered by the end of this year.
Tang Xuefan, chairman of Colorful Yunnan General Aviation and president of Yunnan Airport Group, said, “These Phenom 300s will be used in general aviation areas such as medical rescue, disaster-relief work, and so on. They will also play a vital role in customized tourism and high-end leisure and business travel.”
Marco Túlio Pellegrini, president & CEO, Embraer Executive Jets, said, “The Phenom 300 is one of our bestsellers and it has remained the most-delivered executive jet model in the world for three consecutive years. The reliability, efficiency and cutting-edge technology of the Phenom 300 will help Colorful Yunnan build a strong fleet, as well as bring good travel experiences for future passengers.”
The Phenom 300 offers a spacious cabin, designed in partnership with BMW Designworks USA. The pilot-friendly cockpit, featuring the advanced Prodigy Touch Flight Deck, enables single-pilot operation. The Phenom 300 also offers such larger-business jet features as single-point refueling, an externally serviced lavatory, and an air stair.
