Default JetGo to add 2 more ERJ-140LRs

Jetgo prepares to ferry Embraer ERJ-140LR to Australia
September 19, 2016 by australianaviation.com.au 8 Comments
Jetgo will soon add Embraer ERJ-140LRs to its fleet. (Jetgo)
Jetgo’s first Embraer ERJ-140LR at Kingman Airport in Arizona. (Jetgo)
Jetgo’s first Embraer ERJ-140LR regional jet has broken cover in the United States ahead of its upcoming ferry flight to Australia.

The first of two 44-seat ERJ-140LRs, seen above at Kingman Airport in Arizona, was about to undergo a final maintenance check before the long journey to Australia at the end of September.

The trip was expected to take about 10 days.

The aircraft previously operated under US registration N297SK for Republic Airways Holdings, which provides regional services to the major US network carriers. It has been repainted into Jetgo livery and will have Australian registration VH-ZJG when it enters service in this country.
Currently, Jetgo flies three 37-seat ERJ-135LRs on its regular public transport (RPT) network comprising nine destinations across three states along Australia’s east coast.

There has been several announcements from JetGo regarding new aircraft arriving since it started operations.

We will await for them to appear in Oz.

If its announced BNE-WGA flights are to happen, it will need the ERJ-145LR.

Will be interesting to watch, Kendell/Ansett has been the only airline to attempt BNE-WGA when it had CRJ-200ER in its fleet.

The E140 has just commenced taxi for departure from Sapporo, Japan. No clue of its next stop as yet or where/when it will arrive in Australia (though if I had to guess, maybe next stop Philippines, enter Australia in DRW tomorrow).
