Royal Jordanian Airlines has opted to take two 72-seat E-175 jetliners in lieu of two of seven 100-seat E-195s it ordered last year. The first of the E-175s is to be delivered in May 2008 and will feature a cabin with 60 economy-class seats and a 12-seat first-class section. The airline will deploy the new aircraft on a mix of domestic and regional routes.

The Middle Eastern carrier placed the original order for seven E-195s in March 2006 and has received four. The fifth is due to arrive at its Amman, Jordan headquarters before the end of this year. It acquired three of those aircraft through a lease from GE Commercial Aviation Services.
