“In addition to the premium all-business class service, XEJet is finalising the introduction of its Express service on the E190 aircraft, which offers a more versatile option with 104 all-economy class seats, while still maintaining the luxury synonymous with XEJet aircraft for economy passengers. This further expands its offerings and makes quality air travel accessible to a wider audience.”
