Royal Jordanian has increased its spares holdings with a deal to acquire two additional Pratt & Whitney PW1900 engines.
The engine model is the powerplant on the Embraer E2 series, of which the Jordanian flag-carrier has acquired eight, split equally between E190s and E195s.
HALO AirFinance (HALO), a joint venture between GA Telesis and Tokyo Century Corporation, announced the closing of two senior secured loans to Royal Jordanian for its acquisition of the engines.
