Indian regional airline Star Air has taken delivery of the second 88-seat, all-economy Embraer E175 has arrived in Bengaluru, Karnataka, following delivery of the first aircraft in April 2025. Two more E175s will be delivered to Star Air over the coming months completing a lease agreement entered into between the airline and lessor Azorra earlier this year.

These deliveries support Star Air’s expansion to larger jets, enabling the carrier to scale operations and broaden its footprint across India.

Simran Singh Tiwana, CEO of Star Air, says: “As we enter our next phase of growth, these first two aircraft out of lease agreements for four additional E175s, will allow us to scale operations and increase network connectivity, while enhancing passenger comfort and optimising cost-efficiency. We are delighted to begin our partnership with Azorra and look forward to building on this relationship in the years to come.”

The new aircraft are not the only dealing the airline has with Azorra. Earlier this year, the lessor acquired 49 E-jets on existing leases from rival Dubai Aerospace Enterprise, of which Star operates four.
