Alliance Airlines acquires another 16 ERJ190s

Alliance Airlines has announced on 18 December that it has acquired an additional sixteen ERJ190s. All aircraft are former American Airlines and will keep their two-class 99-seat cabin configuration. The aircraft will be delivered in the coming eleven months, with five due for December this year and then one per month until November 2021.

The sixteen new jets are part of the airline's expansion and fleet renewal strategy. Previously the airline acquired fourteen former COPA ERJ190s, of which the first have been delivered. Alliance Airlines is currently doing crew proving flights with the ERJ and plans to start deploying them in their network in March 2021.

Alliance Airlines is one of the world's largest Fokker-operators in the world and its fleet currently consists of five Fokker 50s, fourteen Fokker 70s and 27 Fokker 100s.
