Arkia Israeli Airlines to receive Embraer 195 jet
Embraer is pleased to welcome Arkia Israeli Airlines to its E-Jets customer family. The airline will operate one EMBRAER 195 jet from Tel Aviv to major Mediterranean and European destinations. There will be no changes to Embraer’s current backlog, due to this announcement, since the aircraft was previously delivered to Air Europa.

 

Mauro Kern, Embraer Executive Vice President, Airline Market said, “We are very proud to have Arkia join our E-Jets family of customers and as the very first operator of an E-Jet in Israel. Arkia is a fast-growing Israeli airline. It is a pleasure to support them, and we look forward to an everexpanding and developing relationship.”


Arkia’s EMBRAER 195 jet will accommodate 122 passengers in a single-class Layout. The aircraft will be deployed, primarily, in mid-density European scheduled and charter markets.
