TrueNoord, a specialist in regional aircraft leasing, has signed an agreement with Embraer to acquire 20 new E195-E2 aircraft, plus purchase rights for up to 30 additional airplanes, comprising 20 E195-E2 and 10 E175 models.
The firm order, based on list prices, is valued at USD 1.8 billion, representing one of the company’s largest transactions to date.
A Key Step in TrueNoord’s Expansion
This agreement marks TrueNoord’s first direct order with an aircraft manufacturer, a move that its CEO, Anne-Bart Tieleman, described as “a milestone in the company’s trajectory.”
According to Tieleman, this purchase strengthens the company’s position as a global leasing platform and reflects its commitment to investing in new-generation aircraft, which are more fuel-efficient and have a lower environmental impact.
“This agreement marks an important step in our continued growth as a global leasing platform. It underlines our commitment to state-of-the-art regional jets that combine efficiency, flexibility, and performance – key elements for our customers worldwide,” the executive emphasized.
