Eznis Airways, Mongolia’s leading domestic scheduled airline, is acquiring its first jet equipment with two Avro RJ85 regional jetliners bought from BAE Systems.
The ex-Lufthansa CityLine aircraft, MSN E2257 has now become JU-9909 and E2261, will join four Saab 340Bs
The first aircraft has just been delivered and will enter service later this month; the second aircraft will follow in July.Both aircraft will seat 93 passengers in a comfortable six-abreast economy class configuration, allowing Eznis to meet the growing demand for quality air transport services in Mongolia. Both aircraft are also equipped with the BAE Systems unpaved runway protection kit that allows operations from unsealed and gravel runways.The additional capacity over the airline’s existing fleet of four 34-seat Saab 340B turboprops will allow Eznis to better serve the needs of its contracted clients and individual passengers, as well as expand operations by increasing capacity on existing routes and possibly flying to new international destinations.
