South African carrier Airlink adds 11 ERJ 140s
South African regional airline Airlink is to add 11 Embraer ERJ 140s, taking it to a fleet of 30 Embraer aircraft that operate alongside other types. “The addition of a further 11 ERJ aircraft is a major vote of confidence in the platform’s capability, as well as in its suitability for the expanding African market,” Embraer Commercial Aviation VP-Africa, Latin America & Portugal Simon Newitt said. The carrier also extended its flight-hour pool program contract for another 8 years and expanded it to include the ERJ 140s. The support agreement is 24/7 and covers more than 350 different components. According to Airlink, it operates 12 Avro RJ85s, 20 ERJ 135LRs, 9 Jetstream 4100s and 4 Cessna 208B Grand Caravan EXs, carrying around 1.3m passengers annually. <br/>
