TrueNoord, a specialist regional aircraft lessor, has taken delivery of its fourth Embraer E195-E2 jet at the São José dos Campos facility in Brazil. The next-generation aircraft is part of a six-aircraft deal that will be leased to Canadian operator Porter Airlines. TrueNoord expects to receive the fifth and sixth aircraft later in 2023. Embraer has been a crucial strategic partner to TrueNoord for several years, and this latest transaction solidifies the entire Embraer E-Jet family’s position as a cornerstone of their portfolio of modern regional aircraft.

To commemorate this milestone, Anne-Bart Tieleman and the TrueNoord leadership team joined Embraer’s executives in Brazil to celebrate the delivery of their latest next-generation E195-E2 jet. Porter Airlines, the Canadian operator set to receive TrueNoord’s E195-E2s, is known for providing premium service to regional and international destinations. The addition of the advanced E2 jets to their fleet will enable Porter Airlines to enhance its operations and deliver a superior travel experience to its passengers.

The Embraer E195-E2 is part of the E-Jets E2 family, known for its cutting-edge technology, efficiency, and environmental performance. It features a state-of-the-art flight deck, improved aerodynamics, and next-generation engines, offering significant fuel savings and reduced emissions.
