Last month’s order for five ERJ 145s placed by China Eastern Airlines no doubt came as welcome news to the management of the Brazilian-Chinese joint manufacturing venture known as Harbin-Embraer Aircraft, but it certainly didn’t overwhelm anyone hoping to fully engage an assembly line capable of building 24 airplanes a year.
Embraer, for its part, had delivered five ERJ 145s to Sichuan Airlines and won firm orders for 20 of the 50-seat jets from China Southern and another 10 from Wuhan Airlines.
Although the airline eventually took another eight airplanes from Clayton, Dubilier and Rice’s successor, the now bankrupt AvCraft GmbH, it once again refused deliveries of a new firm order for 20, leading again, at least in part, to the demise of yet another Fairchild Dornier incarnation.
