Myanma Airways, the flag
carrier of Myanmar, has acquired two EMBRAER 190s under a lease agreement with
GE Capital Aviation Services (GECAS), the commercial aircraft leasing and
financing arm of GE. The aircraft are the first modern 100-seater jets to
be introduced in the country. The E190s will be delivered by year end.
Each E190 is configured with 100 seats in a single class layout. The two E-Jets are part of the airline’s fleet modernization plan. In addition to deployment on domestic routes, the E190’s 2,400 nm (4.448 km) range gives Myanma Airways the capability to fly to new Asian destinations as the flag-carrier of Myanmar.
