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.

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