Aug 02, 2019 (newstodate): In his comment on the 2018 results, Regional Jet's CEO announced that the company will expand its aircraft fleet to 26 before summer 2020.
Regional Jet, established in 2016, owned by Nordica and Polish airline LOT, now operates a fleet of 19 aircraft including seven ATR 72-600 operating for SAS, two CRJ700, and 10 CRJ900 aircraft of which five are currently operating for LOT and two for SAS starting from 2020, and plans are to introduce a new aircraft type, Embraer-190/195 before summer 2020, bringing the fleet from 19 to 26 aircraft.
In the release from Regional Jet, no mention was made of where the coming new aircraft will be serving.
It emerges, however, that the Polish carrier LOT intends to expand its activities at Budapest significantly, and industry sources claim the Estonian carrier Regional Jet will be operating a double-digit number of E195 aircraft on behalf of LOT starting from summer 2020.
So far, LOT has announced the opening of a series of flights with E195 aircraft from Budapest in summer 2020, including two daily flights to Prague, and daily rotations to Sofia and Belgrade, and two daily to Stuttgart.
