TrueNoord has purchased two Embraer E175s on lease with Air Canada. The recent closing of this transaction marks the completion of their acquisition of ten Embraer aircraft from Nordic Aviation Capital (NAC), first announced in January 2023.
The aircraft are already deployed across the Air Canada Express network which flies to over 70 destinations across Canada and the United States. Garry Topp, Sales Director – Americas at TrueNoord, comments: “We are very pleased to further expand our footprint by adding two Air Canada operated E175s to our portfolio. These aircraft represent the first E175s in our fleet and our second lessee in the country.

We are very proud to welcome them to the TrueNoord lessee family and look forward to building a strong and long-term relationship with their team.”
