Alliance acquires an additional two E190 aircraft

Alliance has entered into a binding agreement to purchase two additional E190 aircraft which will take the total committed fleet to 32. These aircraft have previously been operated by Helvetic Airways in Switzerland and both aircraft have recently undertaken full base maintenance checks. As a result of the maintenance status of these aircraft, their entry into service will be fast- tracked which will allow Alliance to accelerate its E190 operational expansion. The aircraft are currently located in Basel and will be flown to Norwich, UK this week where they will be painted in Alliance livery and subsequently ferried to Australia.
