The Embraer E195-E2 is the largest member of Embraer's second-generation E-Jet E2 family, designed as a significant advancement over the original E195. It features a new high-aspect-ratio wing, advanced avionics, and new-generation engines to dramatically reduce fuel consumption and operating costs compared to its predecessor. The aircraft typically seats around 120 to 146 passengers in a single-class configuration, with a 2-2 seating arrangement that eliminates middle seats entirely. This layout gives it a marketing advantage as a comfortable regional and short-to-medium-haul airliner, particularly for routes where a larger narrowbody would be inefficient. The E195-E2 entered service in 2019 and has attracted operators seeking a fuel-efficient, right-sized aircraft for thin routes. Embraer claims it is the most fuel-efficient single-aisle aircraft per seat in its class, with a per-trip fuel burn reduction of around 25% compared to previous-generation competitors.

Notable operators

Azul Brazilian Airlines is the largest operator, with Binter Canarias and Porter Airlines also operating the type.

Encyclopaedia

The Embraer E-Jet E2 family is a series of four-abreast narrow-body regional jet airliners designed and produced by the Brazilian aircraft manufacturer Embraer. The twinjet is an incremental development of the original E-Jet family, adopting the more fuel-efficient Pratt & Whitney PW1900G, a geared turbofan engine. The aircraft family comprises three variants that share the same fuselage cross-section with different lengths and feature three different redesigned wings, fly-by-wire controls with new avionics, and an updated cabin. The variants offer maximum take-off weights from 44.6 to 62.5 t, and cover a range of 2,000–3,000 nmi.
