To address this, Alliance has entered into a contract to acquire an additional four E190 airframes from Azorra Aircraft Holdings LLC (“Azorra Deal”). These airframes have a long maintenance life remaining and are “sister ships” to the aircraft being acquired under the AerCap Deal. These airframes will be delivered to Alliance in Costa Rica (without engines fitted) starting in August 2023.
Alliance will utilise spare engines from the disassembled aircraft mentioned above to bring the four additional aircraft into operation between November 2023 and March 2024.

They bought spares & extra engines as part of the original Copa deal.
They may also have to use the Ex-JetBlue engines as well.
