The delivery of the E190-E2 aircraft for Crefisa, which will fly under the Placar Linhas Aéreas livery, took place during a ceremony at Embraer’s facility in São José dos Campos.
Embraer, a leading Brazilian aircraft manufacturer, is proud to announce the successful sale of an E190-E2 jet to Crefisa, a prominent financial institution in Brazil. Crefisa intends to utilize the aircraft for charter operations, specifically catering to top football teams. The delivery of the aircraft, which will fly under the Placar Linhas Aéreas livery, took place during a ceremony at Embraer’s facility in São José dos Campos.
The E190-E2 jet, known for being the quietest and most fuel-efficient aircraft in its class, will serve as a means of transportation for team members and staff to match destinations, as well as be available for regular charter operations. With a range of 2,850 nautical miles (5,278 kilometers), the E190-E2 enables direct flights to all destinations in South America, departing from São Paulo, Brazil. The deal was facilitated by Embraer’s Asset Management Group and recorded in the company’s fourth-quarter 2022 backlog.
Leila Pereira, Owner of Crefisa Group and President, Sociedade Esportiva Palmeiras, said, “The E2 is an extremely comfortable and efficient aircraft – perfect for football travel. We’re proud to be working with Embraer, another of Brazil’s global success stories, as we develop our own charter operation with Placar Linhas Aéreas S.A. Arriving in style on Brazil’s most modern jet is a great way for any team to start game day.”
The E2 aircraft family has gained recognition and trust from various airlines worldwide, such as KLM in the Netherlands, Helvetic Airlines in Switzerland, Azul in Brazil, Air Peace in Nigeria, and Porter Airlines in Canada. Embraer’s commitment to delivering advanced, reliable, and customer-focused aircraft has contributed to its success in the global aviation industry.
Francisco Gomes Neto, President and CEO, Embraer said, “This deal matches two of Brazil’s world-leading areas of success – football and aviation. Embraer staff are huge fans of the game and will be excited to see their footballing heroes flying on the company’s new E2 aircraft. The teams and charter guests will enjoy the unparalleled comfort, spacious cabin and minimal noise. The fuel efficiency and short runway performance are an obvious choice for the startup operator, offering an immediate option to serve regional airports, including those with shortened runways unable to handle large aircraft. Embraer’s commercial jets play an essential role in enabling airlines to open, develop, and grow their networks profitably.”
