We\u2019re pleased to share that American Airlines Group will add 15 Embraer 170 (E170) aircraft and assign them to Envoy starting in November. These aircraft are in addition to the three new Embraer E175 deliveries previously announced.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe are investing in our people, growing our large regional jet fleet, and continuing to hire the best of the best,\u201d said Envoy President & CEO\u00a0Pedro F\u00e1bregas<\/strong>. \u201cThese three key measures lay the foundation for Envoy\u2019s future and our position within AAG.\u201d<\/p>\n The Company\u2019s broader goal is to gradually replace all Embraer 145 (E145) aircraft and focus exclusively on our large regional jet (E170\/E175) operation over time. We are planning to transfer 15 E145s to Piedmont. The E170 and E175 constitute a single fleet type from an operational perspective and this move will allow us to simplify everything from training, to supply chain, operations and more. \u00a0Today\u2019s announcement will increase Envoy\u2019s large regional jet fleet to 101 E175s and 27 E170s.<\/p>\n \u201cWe are pleased with the E170 and its position in our fleet,\u201d adds Envoy Senior Vice President, Air Operations,\u00a0Dee Temples<\/strong>. \u201cThe E170\u2019s spacious first-class cabin matches that of the larger E175, and two-class regional service has proven to be extremely popular with customers. Additionally, being able to operate the E170 and E175 with the same flight crews gives us a lot of flexibility and efficiency. This is a key part of our evolution from a four fleet type airline 14 years ago to a single fleet type in the near future.\u201d<\/p>\n Envoy plays an important role in American\u2019s regional operation, operating almost a third of all American Eagle-branded regional flights. We\u2019re committed to evolving our company to help American succeed in its broader network goals.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" We\u2019re pleased to share that American Airlines Group will add 15 Embraer 170 (E170) aircraft and assign them to Envoy starting in November.
