Embraer’s E2 jets clinch Mongolian certification

Embraer has gained type acceptance certificates for its E190-E2 and E195-E2 aircraft by Mongolian regulators. The certification paves the way for the eventual introduction of E190-E2s with Mongolian operator Hunnu Air. The privately-owned carrier first disclosed plans to lease two E190-E2s in January this year, and will be taking delivery of its first E2 aircraft in April. Hunnu, an existing operator of E190s, plans to deploy the E2s on flights to “key tourist destinations” like Haikou and Sanya in China, as well as Phu Quoc in Vietnam. Commercial chief at Embraer Commercial Aviation Martyn Holmes says: “Certification paves the way for more business opportunities as we continue to expand our footprint in Mongolia. The E2 is ready to be a strategic asset for Mongolian carriers seeking to modernise their fleets and grow their networks. We look forward to supporting Mongolia’s growing aviation market with these game-changing aircraft.”<br/>
