The Embraer 170 was the first version produced. The prototype was rolled out on 29 October 2001, with first flight 119 days later on February 19. The aircraft was displayed to the public in May 2002 at the Regional Airline Association convention. After a positive response from the airline community, Embraer proceeded with the launch of the stretched E-175 in June 2003. Certification for the 170 took nearly 2 years after the public debut; delivery of the first aircraft to the launch customer LOT Polish Airlines was in March 2004.
The company has five firm orders for the EMBRAER 175, in a deal that includes options for another ten aircraft and purchase rights for 15 more.
"We are very proud and happy to receive TRIP as our new E-Jets customer in Brazil," says Frederico Fleury Curado, Embraer President and CEO. "We are certain that together, Embraer and TRIP will make a big contribution to the Brazilian air transportation system."
The new aircraft that will be delivered will join TRIP's fleet, which currently has another two EMBRAER 175 jets - and this E-Jet model is operating in Brazil for the first time - all of which are configured to comfortably accommodate 86 passengers in a single-class layout. The airplanes are being financed conjointly, in Brazilian Reals, by the National Social Development Bank (Banco Nacional de Desenvolvimento Social - BNDES) and the Bank of Brazil.
"We began operating in the regional market 11 years ago, with a pre-owned 30-seat EMB 120 Brasilia, when modern services seemed like a distant dream. Today, we are the leader in the regional market and, with the acquisition of the jets by Embraer, a company that has marked our history as a great partner, we have become the regional airline that most invests in Brazil," states Jose Mario Caprioli, President of TRIP. According to Caprioli, the total investments in technology, linked to a team of professional partners throughout this entire time, have made the difference.
