Having BNDES and ABGF as partners at this stage demonstrates that our business plan is progressing well, with many more E2 deliveries to come.”Three of Porter’s current 54 E2 fleet have already been supported by BNDES. The agreement provides a financing option for deliveries expected through 2030.“BNDES plays an important role in supporting the diversification of Embraer customers in the North American aviation sector, with an aircraft model that uses more advanced technologies and has a lower environmental impact,” said Aloizio Mercadante, president, BNDES.“Porter is one of the largest operators of E2 jets in the world and a benchmark in passenger experience in the competitive North American market. It is a great satisfaction to see this customer’s fleet growth and to be able to connect more people with our aircraft, in addition to celebrating the solid partnership with BNDES in supporting our exports,” says Felipe Santana, Executive Vice President, Financial and Investor Relations at Embraer.Since 2006, Porter Airlines has been elevating the experience of economy air travel for every passenger, providing genuine hospitality with style, care and charm.
