BRASILIA (BNS): Embraer has sealed a contract with Austral Líneas Aéreas, of Argentina for the sale of 20 Embraer 190 jets.

The agreement was announced in May 2009, and was conditioned on fulfilling several requirements, which were finalized. From the 20 jets on order, three were already included in the firm order backlog of the first quarter of 2010, as “Undisclosed”.

The Embraer 190 jets ordered by the Argentine airline are of the Advanced Range (AR) model, and can fly nonstop for 2,400 nautical miles (4,400 km).

The passenger cabin configuration, with four seats per row, is very comfortable and will have a total of 96 seats divided into two classes: eight in the executive and 88 in the economy. All the passengers will have a modern inflight entertainment system with individual monitors, according to a news report by the Embraer company.

Austral will use the aircraft mainly to substitute older jets on domestic routes, to increase current flight frequencies, and to serve new cities.

The EMBRAER 190 is one of four models of the EMBRAER 170/190 E-Jets family and entered operation in 2005.
