Following certification, Hunnu Air takes delivery of first Embraer E195-E2
Mongolian carrier Hunnu Air has officially taken delivery of its first E195-E2, Embraer said.
The aircraft is part of a two-aircraft leasing agreement with Azorra. The second aircraft is expected to be delivered in October.
The largest private carrier in the Central Asian country, Hunnu Air, already operates two first-generation E190s, also on lease.
The delivery ceremony took place the day after the Mongolian civil authority announced the certification of the E2 family. The jet, registered EI-HUN, had made a flight to Uruguay and back to Embraer’s headquarters in Brazil in preparation for delivery,
John Evans, CEO and Founder, Azorra, says: “We are thrilled to deliver Mongolia’s first new Embraer E195-E2 aircraft to our valued partners at Hunnu Air. This is a significant step in the growth of Hunnu Air and a major milestone for the future of aviation in Mongolia. This delivery also reinforces our strong partnership with Embraer.”
Munkhjargal Purevjal, CEO, Hunnu Air, says: “We’ve been an E190 operator since 2019 and the E195-E2 is the perfect extension as we meet growing demand for air travel across Mongolia and beyond.”
According to Hunnu, the new generation aircraft will increase capacity to Haikou, Sanya, and Phu Quoc, expand services to Japan, China, Vietnam, India and South Korea, and introduce scheduled flights to Tashkent.
