Star Air, India’s regional airline, received its third Embraer E175 on August 16, through leasing with Nordic Aviation Capital (NAC) – the contract provides for a total of four aircraft.
Like the first two jets, received in February and March, Star Air’s E175 is configured with two classes and 76 seats – 12 seats in business class and 2+1 configuration (36-inch pitch) and 64 seats in economy (2 +2 and 31-inch pitch).
“We are delighted to welcome our third Embraer E175LR aircraft to our growing fleet,” said Mr. Sanjay Ghodawat, Chairman, Star Air.
I congratulate each individual at Star Air for the fast paced growth and their true dedication to Connecting Real India. With network extensions this aircraft will enable, I am confident we will touch more regional towns in India.”
Star Air’s three E175s previously flew on Belavia, the Belarusian airline, but were returned in November 2021 after a diplomatic incident led by the country’s government.
In May of that year, a Ryanair Boeing 737-800 flying from Athens to Vilnius, Lithuania, was forced to land in Minsk, the capital of Belarus, where two passengers, a journalist critical of the regime of Alexander Lukashenko, and his girlfriend, were seized.
