Embraer announced today at the 51st International Paris Air Show that it has concluded an agreement for 17 E190s with Colorful Guizhou Airlines, the first locally-owned airline in China’s Guizhou Province.

The contract is for seven firm orders, which will be included in Embraer’s 2015 second-quarter backlog, and ten options and has an estimated value of USD 834 million at current list price if all options are exercised.

The first aircraft is scheduled for delivery in 2015.

Colorful Guizhou Airlines is Embraer’s fifth E-Jet customer in China and the first in the southwest of the country.

In 2013, Embraer launched E-Jets E2, the second generation of its E-Jets family of commercial aircraft comprised of three new airplanes – E175-E2, E190-E2, E195-E2 – seating from 70 to 130 passengers.

The E190-E2 is expected to enter service in the first half of 2018. The E195-E2 is slated to enter service in 2019 and the E175-E2 in 2020.
