The new aircraft will allow Envoy Air to upgrade many routes and or to replace current regional operators on some routes. From the passenger’s perspective, the new aircraft will offer comfortable 2 by 2 seating, First Class, Main Cabin Extra and Economy as well as satellite based Wi-Fi. Deliveries are expected to commence later this year.
