It’s Sunday again, so it must be time for some Easter Airplane Art.
This week, we have a Hop! by Air France Embraer E170 arriving at Birmingham Airport after completing a journey from Paris Charles De Gaulle Airport.
Hop! by Air France operates the regional services for Air France. The airline operates 15 of the smaller Embraer E170 Regional Jet, along with the larger Embraer E190. The airline also operates Bombardier CRJ1000 – although these are due to be phased out at the end of the summer season.
These operate in a flexible 76 seat configuration, operating out of the Paris Charles de Gaulle and Lyon bases.
This aircraft – F-HBXI – joined Regional by Air France initially in June 2010 – making the aircraft just under 12 years old. When Air France reorganised its regional divisions, it fell into the Hop! fleet in April 2016, where it has remained since.
It has recently operated out of its Paris base as well as Rennes, to various destinations including Pau, Dusseldorf and Amsterdam Schiphol.
More Airplane Art next week!

I didn’t know “Hop” still existed. Appropriate for Easter.
There was a “little” planning for the Easter image.
Honest 😉
