LOT Polish Airlines Receive First E195-E2

São José dos Campos, Brazil, August 1, 2024 - LOT Polish Airlines has taken delivery of its first Embraer (NYSE: ERJ; B3: EMBR3) E195-E2 less than three months after signing the deal. The first of three jets leased via Azorra, will arrive in Poland shortly. LOT is adding the E2 to their fleet to enhance operational flexibility and accommodate network expansion. Reaffirming LOT's commitment to sustainability, the E195-E2 delivers 12.5% lower fuel burn and emissions, and is significantly quieter than its closest competitor aircraft. All three aircraft are expected to be delivered by October.

"Twenty years after the delivery of the first Embraer E-170, the LOT Polish Airlines fleet will be expanded by three Embraer E195-E2 aircraft. With these aircraft, we will increase the frequency of flights to selected European cities, offering passengers a high level of comfort in the latest generation fleet. The introduction of new, low-emission aircraft is also part of the implementation of our "Destination ECO" strategy. LOT Polish Airlines is today one of the largest Embraer operators in Europe, so we are happy to welcome further state-of-the-art aircraft, inviting our passengers to travel together," says Michał Fijoł, President of the Management Board of LOT Polish Airlines.

Arjan Meijer, President and CEO, Embraer Commercial Aviation, said, "We welcome our long term partner LOT as the 17th E2 operator 20 years after they inducted their first E170 as the global launch customer for the E-jets - in the last two years the number of E2 operators has almost doubled (88%). Along with our leasing colleagues at Azorra, we are proud to have been able to deliver these jets in double quick time to meet our customer's needs. We look forward to our continued partnership with LOT, including the new opportunities for the E2 - the most fuel efficient, quietest, and least costly jet to operate in the small narrowbody segment."

LOT was the first operator of the brand new E-Jets in 2004. The first revenue flight, on 17th March 2004, was completed by an E170 from Poland's capital to Vienna. The 85-minute, 520km flight to Vienna marked the beginning of the extraordinary success of Embraer's new aircraft family; the 1800th E-Jet in the program, an E195-E2, was delivered to a customer in May this year.
