Hebei Airlines (Shijiazhuang) on December 20 took delivery of its first two Embraer ERJ 190-100LRs in a ceremony held at the Embraer’s headquarters in São José dos Campos, Brazil. The sale of these two E190s was confirmed this month, and the purchase of another eight jets is still subject to the Chinese government approval. Based in Shijiazhuang, the capital city of China’s Hebei Province, the E190s will be deployed to support establishing a hub network within Hebei Province, while also flying from Shijiazhuang to other provincial capitals, with more routes and frequencies.
The airline commenced operations on June 29, 2010.
