Japan Airlines (JAL) has taken delivery of its first Embraer 170 regional jet and will be putting it into service early next year after carrying out crew training for several months. The Oneworld alliance carrier took delivery of the aircraft at a ceremony at Embraer's headquarters in Brazil on 3 October. It is the first of 10 that the airline has on firm order and the first E-170 that will be operated by a Japanese airline. Oct 6, 2008

Mount Cook Airlines, ATR

Air New Zealand's Mount Cook Airlines is staying with ATR but rather than purchasing new aircraft is buying the seven ATRs it currently has on operating leases. Mount Cook general manager Mark Pitt says the airline has decided against buying new aircraft and instead is buying the seven ATR 72-500s it has on operating leases from Orix Aviation. The airline had a formal pitch in which it considered placing an order for 13-17 ATR 72-500/600s, Bombardier Q400/Q400Xs and Embraer 170s. Oct 6, 2008
