Grande notizia, bella foto, ringrazio James84 per averla condivisa...... Ma continuano a non piacermi i CRJ. Grandi macchine ma non trovo soddisfazione nel volarci.....

Estonian Air gets new aircraft today

Estonian Air gets new aircraft today

24.01.2011


Canadian aircraft manufacturer Bombardier Aerospace delivers today the first CRJ900 NextGen regional jet to Estonian Air at Mirabel, Canada. The first jet will arrive to Estonia on 25 January and starts serving Estonian Air’s regular flights after few days. Altogether Estonian Air will get three new CRJ900 NextGen aircraft, two jets in January 2011 and one in 2012.

According to Andrus Aljas, the President and CEO of Estonian Air, the new aircraft fit very well with Estonian market needs and Estonian Air’s strategic direction. “Renewal of the fleet with a modern, reduced environmental impact and with lower fuel consumption aircraft helps us to grow in terms of passenger numbers as well as to improve our competitive edge,” said Aljas.

“Estonian Air is joining seven other European airlines that have ordered or operate 78 CRJ900 regional jets,” said Gary R. Scott, President, Bombardier Commercial Aircraft. “The low operating costs, performance attributes and reliability of CRJ Series regional jets contribute to their success in all markets where they operate,” continued Mr. Scott.

The CRJ900 NextGen aircraft has a cabin configuration of 88 seats and the flight distance is above 3000 kilometers. The new aircraft is going to serve Estonian Air’s shorter and high-demand business routes mainly, like Stockholm, Moscow and Brussels. In parallel Estonian Air continues to use Boeing 737-300 and 737-500 aircraft with cabin configuration of 118 and 142 seats.

The first CRJ900 NextGen aircraft will make its first flight on 27 January 2011, on the route Tallinn-Stockholm.

Bombardier Makes Airplane-Handover to Estonian Air

Bombardier Makes Airplane-Handover to Estonian Air

Canadian airplane manufacturer Bombardier Aerospace will hand over a much-awaited plane to Estonian Air on January 24.



The airplane will cross the Atlantic to Estonia on the following morning, and will make its maiden commercial flight on January 27, from Tallinn to Stockholm.
"Updating our airport to modern, more environmentally friendly and less fuel consumption airplanes will help us increase traveler numbers and improve Estonian Air's competitiveness,“ said Estonian Air president Andrus Aljas.
Of the three new airplanes ordered by Estonian Air - to begin making flights to Stockholm, Moskva and Brussels - another will also be ready before the end of the month, and the third in 2012.
After two years of setbacks, Estonian Air signed a contract to buy the airplanes from the Canadian producer on September 9, 2010. As soon as the deal was made, the Estonian government arranged to buy back the portion of the company owned by the Scandinavian airline, SAS.
Estonian Air claims that the deal was delayed for two years because they were waiting for newer and more energy-efficient planes to emerge in the market.
Including Estonian Air, eight European airline companies have ordered 78 planes of this type (CRJ900 NextGen), according to Bombardier's commercial aircrafts president Gary R. Scott.
The 88-seat plane has a flight distance of 3,000 kilometers. Estonian Air has so far used airplane models Boeing 737-300 and 737-500, which seat 142 and 118 respectively.
