Airlink has taken delivery of the first three of 10 new Embraer E195-E2s, with four more due in 2026, which will offer new business-class seats.
The carrier finalised its lease agreement with the US-based lessor, Azorra, and celebrated the handover of the aircraft at Embraers facility in So Jos dos Campos, near So Paulo. The new aircraft are in the process of being ferried from the Embraer facility to Johannesburg via Cape Town.
The three new aircraft delivered this week, which seat up to 136 passengers in a two-by-two cabin layout, will provide Airlink with additional capacity to better compete on high-density routes such as Johannesburg-Cape Town.
