British Airways orders 11 Embraer 170/190s for CityFlyer
By Nicholas Ionides
British Airways (BA) has ordered 11 Embraer regional jets for use by its BA
CityFlyer subsidiary.
Embraer says in a statement that the deal comprises six Embraer 170s and five
190SRs on firm order, plus options for three more 190SRs.
The first 76-seat 170 is due for delivery in the second half of 2009.
Deliveries of the larger, 98-seat 190SRs will start later, says Embraer.
BA had been evaluating replacements for some time for its Avro RJ100s and
RJ85s that are operated by its CityFlyer unit. The new Embraer aircraft will
be operated out of London City Airport.
As part of the agreement BA has also signed a support agreement covering
inventory control for parts for the aircraft over the next decade.

British Airways places $376m Embraer order
22 Dec 2008
British Airways has ordered 11 new aircraft to replace its London City
airport based fleet.
The airline has placed firm orders for six Embraer 170 and five Embraer 190SR
efficiency jets, known as E-jets, with options for three more. The deal is
worth US$376 million at current list prices.
The planes will replace the current fleet of 10 Avro RJ100 and two RJ85
aircraft operated by subsidiary BA CityFlyer at the Docklands airport.
The airline says the planes will be “greener and more fuel efficient with
significantly lower carbon dioxide emissions…a key consideration in the order
”.
Peter Simpson, managing director of BA CityFlyer, said: "We are very excited
about this new fleet of fuel efficient aircraft which will not only help us
to meet our environmental objectives but also provide more space and comfort
for our customers.
"This significant investment in new aircraft further demonstrates British
Airways' commitment to services into and out of London City for our
customers.
"Having the combination of the Embraer 170s and 190SRs in the same fleet will
give us greater flexibility, enabling us to match capacity with demand on
routes within our existing and future network."
