Embraer Adds Israeli E-Jet Customer

Arkia Israeli Airlines will operate one Embraer 195 jet from Tel Aviv to major Mediterranean and European destinations, becoming Embraer’s first Israeli customer. The order does not change Embraer’s current backlog since the aircraft had previously been delivered to Air Europa, which sold the aircraft recently. Related Story
