All the Embraer E170LR planes that belong to Egyptair are being offered for sale by the airline. The company expects to on these aircraft in a public auction, which will be held on December 20 of this year.
The company is replacing its Embraer E-Jet planes with the new Airbus A220, including even the E170s in its fleet. All planes going up for auction are in a “ready to fly” state, despite storage since March 2020, and come with General Electric CF34-8E engines, which are worth a few million dollars.
The following planes are available for sale:
-
- SU-GCT (msn 17000167): a 2007 build with 23.961 flight hours and 25.565 flight cycles;
- SU-GCX (msn 17000178): a 2007 build with 21.930 flight hours and 24.406 flight cycles;
- SU-GCY (msn 17000185): a 2007 build with 23.072 flight hours and 24.894 flight cycles;
- SU-GDF (msn 17000266): A 2008 build with 21.847 flight hours and 21.780 flight cycles;
- SU-GDG (msn 17000269): a 2009 build with 22.350 flight hours and 21.994 flight cycles;
- SU-GDH (msn 17000274): A 2009 build with 22.275 flight hours and 21.186 flight cycles;
- SU-GDI (msn 17000276): A 2009 build with 20.485 flight hours and 19.897 flight cycles;
- SU-GDJ (msn 17000282): A 2009 build with 21.265 flight hours and 20.412 flight cycles;
- SU-GDK (msn 17000284): A 2009 build with 20.683 flight hours and 19.459 flight cycles.
In addition to the nine currently on sale, the other three Egyptair Express units were sold to state-owned CIAF Leasing, of which two are currently leased to Jasmin Airways, from Tunisia.
Probably leasing companies will participate in this auction to buy the aircraft, as well as some interested airlines. The E170 is still quite successful in regional aviation in the United States.
