Azorra Leases New E2s

Azorra is pleased to announce that it has signed lease agreements for nine new E190-E2 aircraft with Scoot, the low cost subsidiary of the Singapore Airlines Group. The aircraft are scheduled to be delivered from 2024, based on Azorra’s firm orderbook with Embraer.

“We are thrilled to support Scoot and its exciting expansion plan to serve more short and medium haul flights across Southeast Asia”, said John Evans, Azorra’s CEO. “Scoot’s selection of the E2 is a resounding endorsement of Embraer’s E2 product line and the crossover segment. With the addition of E2s, Scoot becomes the first Singapore-based airline to operate crossover aircraft, demonstrating the emerging capacity rationalization trend amongst operators globally.”

Leslie Thng, CEO of Scoot, said, “The agreement to lease the new E190-E2 aircraft positions us to further develop our Singapore hub, capturing APAC’s strong travel demand and to offer our customers more travel options with a modern fuel-efficient fleet. As the first Singaporean carrier to operate E2s, we are excited to be working with our partners at Embraer and Azorra who are helping to support our network growth and fleet strategy.”
