Kenya Airways Brand new Embraer E190 expected
to arrive this week takes flight tests at the Embraer field in San Jose
Dos Campos in Brazil.
The state-of-the-art aircraft increases the KQ fleet to 36 and will be immediately deployed on regional and medium distance routes across
the African continent.
Interior configuration is similar to other KQ jets that are Premium and Economy class sections, offering 12 business
class seats in a 2 x 1 layout and 84 economy class seats in a 2 x 2
layout.
The Embraers are playing a crucial role towards achieving Kenya
Airways target of connecting every political and commercial capital on
the continent with Nairobi by the end of 2013, using this type of medium
distance jet alongside the proven B737NGs and, in particular on select
Southern and Western African routes, the B767 and B777. It was confirmed
from a regular source at Kenya Airways that the airline will take
delivery of at least one such aircraft every month until April 2013.
Welcome aboard!
