São José dos Campos, December 23, 2009 – Embraer and Germany’s Aircraft Asset Management AAM GmbH & Co. KG have signed a firm order for two EMBRAER 190 jets. The deal is valued at US$ 79 million, at list price, and is already included in Embraer’s firm order backlog for the third quarter of 2009 as “undisclosed”. The first aircraft was delivered to the operator, Augsburg Airways, last September, and the second is expected to join the airline’s fleet in 2010.

Augsburg Airways is a long-established turboprop operator. The airline received the first EMBRAER 195 jet in June 2009, building on a very successful relationship with Lufthansa, which signed a contract for 30 E-Jets in June 2007. Today, Augsburg operates five 116-seat EMBRAER 195s for Lufthansa and one 110-seat EMBRAER 190 for AAM. All jets are configured in a dual-class layout, separated by a movable divider, with no middle seats.
