TrueNoord leases three Embraer E190s to Breeze

TrueNoord and Breeze Airways have finalised lease agreements for three Embraer E190s to be deployed across the Breeze Airways network.

The three E190s are part of a portfolio of 10 Embraer aircraft that TrueNoord acquired from Nordic Aviation Capital (NAC) earlier this year.

“We are very pleased to further expand our footprint in North America by adding three Breeze Airways-operated Embraers to our portfolio,” said Garry Topp, Sales Director – Americas, TrueNoord.

“Breeze is shaping a strong and expanding business by offering point-to-point travel to new city pairs. As a lessor, TrueNoord specialises in the regional airline sector, and Breeze is innovating in this sector so we see them as an excellent fit and welcome them to our global lessee family.

“Going forward, the market is recovering with recruitment and training programmes building up across the US for more aircrew. The vast US market will always have a need for regional connectivity for shorter and thinner routes at an attractive trip cost.

“New entrants such as Breeze Airways are also finding ways to develop the sector by creating new routes and expanding customer choice. For TrueNoord, the regional aviation sector in the US offers interesting opportunities for fleet renewal now and in the future as older aircraft are retired,” said Topp.
