TUI Travel Leases Embraer 190s for Belgium’s Jetairfly

TUI Travel PLC, one of the world’s leading leisure-travel groups, is joining the ranks of operators of the Embraer E-Jets family.

The group will lease two Embraer 190 jets from BOC Aviation, a Singapore-based aircraft leasing company. The two Embraer 190s will be delivered in the first half of 2013 to Jetairfly, TUI’s subsidiary airline in Belgium.

Jetairfly’s Embraer 190 jets will be configured with 112 slimline seats in a single-class layout.  According to Embraer, the E-Jets will allow the airline to provide capacity more economically on lower-demand routes that it currently serves with larger narrowbody aircraft.

The Embraer 190s are also intended to be deployed in some Jetairfly winter markets where seasonal demand is better satisfied with 100-seat aircraft, says Embraer. Source: Airlines and destinations

Passenger dies in mid-air during Mexico-Belgium flight

A Jetairfly passenger plane flying from Mexico to Belgium made an emergency landing in Ireland on Wednesday morning after one of its passengers became unwell in mid-air, the airline said. The passenger was pronounced dead upon landing.

Jetairfly flight 208 was flying from Cancún International Airport on the Caribbean coast of Mexico’s Yucatán Peninsula when a male passenger suffered a medical emergency. “The crews and passenger-nurses who were called upon administered medical care,” said Hans Vanhaelemeesch, a spokesman for the Belgian airline.

Less than 30 minutes after the pilot declared a medical emergency, the Boeing 767-300 made an emergency landing at Shannon Airport in Ireland. “At the airport a doctor determined the death of the passenger,” Vanhaelemeesch said.

“The deceased passenger was traveling with his spouse. The cause of death is heart failure.”

The remaining 252 passengers waited several hours before they were able to resume their flight to the Belgian capital of Brussels. “The unfortunate incident resulted in a 6-hour delay at Brussels,” the spokesman added. “The management and staff of Jetairfly and Jetair express their condolences to the family of the deceased.”
