Shenzhen Airlines’ domestic regional carrier Kunpeng Airlines has ordered five Embraer 190s and hopes to eventually get Chinese Government approval for a total of 50.
A senior source at Kunpeng says China’s National Development Reform Commission (NDRC) has granted approval for the airline to purchase five E-190s and the first is to be delivered in late August.
The source says an agreement was signed late last year with Embraer for 50 E-190s but the carrier is still waiting on NRDC approval for the other 45.
