Air Peace takes delivery of the first Embraer E2 for the African Continent

Air Peace, Nigeria and West Africa’s largest airline, took delivery of their first E195-E2 aircraft on January 27. The aircraft is now due to fly from Embraer’s facility in São José dos Campos to join the Air Peace fleet in Nigeria.

Air Peace is the launch customer in Africa for the E2, the newest, most efficient, and most comfortable aircraft in the segment. The airline is also the global launch customer for Embraer’s innovative premium staggered seating design.

The jet delivered is the first of 13 firm E195-E2 orders, with 17 remaining purchase rights, as announced in March 2019, and updated with three further firm orders from purchase rights announced at the Dubai Air Show in November 2019. The total value of the deal, with all purchase rights exercised is US $2.2bn. The aircraft are configured in a comfortable dual class arrangement with 124 seats.
