Alliance Airlines, the Australian Airline, Announced Last Sunday (02/26) the Acquisition of 30 Embraer 190 Aircraft. The News Was Confirmed by AerCap, the Irish Leasing Company.
According to Alliance’s Managing Director, Scott McMillan, the acquisition of Embraer aircraft will allow the company to increase its capacity, as well as ensure better access to key components and improvements in operations. The Embraer aircraft are currently leased to a U.S. company and have been operated by it from the beginning. Although there is no official confirmation, there are speculations that the aircraft would belong to JetBlue.
The delivery of the aircraft will begin in September 2023 and will be completed by January 2026. The purchase price of each aircraft will be determined in the week prior to delivery and depends on the maintenance status of the fuselage and installed engines. Therefore, it is not possible to predict a final price for the entire fleet.
Once the 30 aircraft are added to Alliance’s fleet, it will have a total of 100 planes: 37 Fokker 100/70 and 63 Embraer E190. However, the engines and other components of the aircraft may be retained as spares to maintain the balance of the company’s Embraer fleet.

With 60 tons, a 38.8-meter wingspan, and the capacity to drop 12 tons of water on fires, the world’s largest amphibious aircraft transforms open sea into a runway for rescue, firefighting, and missions in areas where no conventional aircraft can reach.

A giant 55 feet long and 65 feet in wingspan already transports passengers by gliding over the water and then flying close to the sea, and REGENT’s Viceroy Seaglider puts humans aboard an electric vehicle that combines three modes of operation to transform coastal routes into near-air travel.

India is paving 1,350 kilometers of road with 8 lanes to connect its two largest cities — the drive between Delhi and Mumbai will be reduced from 24 hours to 12, and 929 kilometers are already completed.

Norway is drilling 27 kilometers of rock 392 meters below the bottom of a fjord to build the world’s largest and deepest underwater road tunnel — when completed, a 21-hour journey will be reduced to 10.
This acquisition announcement comes just days after Qantas revealed that it will expand its fleet in the coming years, including more Embraer aircraft acquired through its partnership with Alliance. It is expected that this expansion in both the number and quality of aircraft will bring excellent results for both companies involved.
