The delivery of the first three aircraft, two E195’s and one Е175, is expected as early as April 2019. The remaining two aircraft will be delivered in December 2019 and in April 2020, respectively. The transaction is an essential part of Belavia's fleet growth initiative which will allow them to successfully implement their strategy on growth and ensure cost-effective development.

“The medium-haul passenger aircraft, Embraer-175 and Embraer-195, are placed between a capacious Boeing-737 and a small CRJ in the Belavia fleet. The additional aircraft is in line with the enlargement of Belavia’s flight frequency network in order to satisfy passengers’ demand” ― said Anatoly Gusarov, the General Director of Belavia-Belarusian Airlines.

"Belavia's fleet will include 12 E-Jets when these five new aircraft join Belavia's ranks".
