British Airways has placed an order for a fleet of 11 fuel efficient aircraft for regional subsidiary BA CityFlyer. The airline will take delivery of the first of its new Embraer aircraft, which will fly from London City Airport, from next September.
BA has placed orders for six Embraer 170 and five 190SR efficiency aircraft, known as E-jets, with options for 3 more, in an investment valued at US$376m based on current list prices. The new planes will operate from London City to Scotland, Ireland and Europe.
The aircraft will replace the existing fleet of ten Avro RJ100 and two RJ85 aircraft. The Embraer 170 will improve CO2 emissions and reduce fuel costs by up to 56% versus the RJ fleet and the 190SR will improve CO2 emissions and reduce fuel costs by up to 28%.
