KLM Cityhopper receives 1,700th E-Jet
Embraer reached a new milestone on the E-Jet programme with the delivery of the 1,700th production aircraft. The E195-E2 (PH-NXM, msn 19020076) was handed over to KLM Cityhopper at a ceremony at Embraer’s facility in São José dos Campos.
The E195-E2 is part of a family of advanced-generation E-Jets that offer the quietest, lowest polluting, and most fuel-efficient aircraft in the under 150-seat market.
The KLM Cityhopper configuration has 132 seats in three zones; Business Class, Economy Comfort, and Economy Class. It is already the sixtieth E-Jet for the airline which operates a mixed fleet of 47 first and 13 advanced generation E2s, the largest in Europe. KLC have twelve further E195-E2s on order, with options for ten more.
For the moment this E2 can be easily recognised by the SATCOM-dome on top of the fuselage, and the other twelve will also have this feature.
PH-NXM left São José dos Campos on 30 September and flew via Recife and Tenerife South to arrive at Amsterdam-Schiphol Airport, on 1 October.
