Embraer E195-E2

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.
