Pionair To Get E190
 

GOAL sells one Embraer E190-100LR aircraft to Pionair Australia

GOAL Aircraft Leasing sold one Embraer E190-100LR aircraft with MSN 19000435 to Pionair Australia Pty Ltd. The aircraft had been leased to a European wet-lease operator and will be ferried to Australia in a few days.

GOAL is a joint venture of KGAL GmbH & Co. KG, one of Germany’s leading independent investment and asset managers with an investment volume of €20.5 billion and Deutsche Lufthansa AG, one of the world’s premier carriers. GOAL currently owns and manages 56 aircraft with an investment volume of approximately US$1.8 billion. It has a broad experience in its core business of operating leasing, technical asset management and aircraft remarketing and has proven its professional know- how for more than 20 years.

Pionair Australia Pty Ltd is a privately owned Sydney based ACMI and Charter Airline. This is the company’s first E190-E1 aircraft, which will add to the existing fleet of one E190-E2 and eight Bae146 cargo, and passenger aircraft.

Thanks, Lloyd

Yes it is to be based in BNE and start flights in January.My question is If Bankstown is the base of Pionair i don't believe a E190 can land and take off there so will it get delivered to BNE or SYD?

Is the E2 based at BNE ?

Maybe keep them together.

Yes both are to be based at BNE but the main head office is at Bankstown so not sure if they would deliver the E190 VH-SEF there first for look over and pre service maintenance?, but i don't believe the runway is long enough?

1400 is plenty for an E190 into Bankstown, most conditions it looks like a min 1000m is required

Thanks MarkR.:)

Though what is the MTOW of the runway and taxiways at BWU?

Above 20k needs a pavement concession however the runway is designated as heavy, the 190 isn’t far off the BAE-146/F100s operating through there in that context.

HB-JVR departed Basle at 13.01 on 21/11 and arrived at DWC at 23.26 via a stop at Belgrade. Departed DWC at 10.41am 22/11 and arrived at Medan at 21.42 via a stop at Madras. No movement yet today.

Departed Medan this morning for Broome and is expected into Bankstown around 17:00 tonight

VH-SEF has been sold and will be leaving the fleet soon, having never flown under that rego, while VH-IKJ is now in long term storage after an engine change.

SEF never moved from its parking spot at Bansktown after its arrival. I still think it carried its previous reg and never carried SEF

Has Cobham bought it? They're recruiting to the BAe146 freighter fleet.
(disregard) I thought SEF was a 146. I guess Cobham could use a 190 instead.

Airnorth is due to receive another E190

Airnorth already have one leased from QQ

Not sure where it’s going, Cobram are advertising for E190 caps in Per and already have a plane there.

They are due to get another E190 for a new contract when ANV's lease ends

Cobham have 3 E190's now, IQA, U, Y

IKJ did a bit of a test flight Monday

Just read (unconfirmed) that all the Pionair livery has been removed from VH-SEF pending sale.

A friend of mine drove by it today and said it still had its Pionair livery on 👍

thanks Sean
