SnapJet Airlines Places Order for 11 ERJs

Published June 1, 2010 | By editor

SnapJet Airlines (SJA) has ordered 11 Embraer regional jets for use by its new QuickSnap subsidiary.

Embraer said in a statement that the deal comprises six Embraer 170s and five 190s on firm order, plus options for three more 190s.

The first 76-seat 170 is due for delivery in the later half of the 2010 summer. Deliveries of the larger, 98-seat 190s will start later in the fall, says Embraer.

SnapJet had been evaluating replacements for some time for its A319s that are operated on shorter low density routes. The new Embraer aircraft will be operated out of San Jose and Las Vegas.

As part of the agreement SnapJet has also signed a support agreement covering inventory control for parts for the aircraft over the next decade.
