Embraer 175

The Embraer 175 (E175) is a twin-engine narrow-body regional jet developed by Brazilian manufacturer Embraer as part of the E-Jets family, which also includes the E170, E190, and E195. Launched in the early 2000s, the E175 was designed to offer greater capacity than its E170 sibling while maintaining operational efficiency for regional and short-haul routes. The aircraft typically seats between 76 and 88 passengers in a 2-2 single-aisle configuration, which eliminates the dreaded middle seat and enhances passenger comfort. This layout has made it particularly popular with regional carriers operating under the banners of major U.S. network airlines. The E175 has proven highly successful in the North American market, where scope clauses in pilot contracts at major airlines have driven demand for aircraft of its size. An updated version, the E175-E2, has been developed as part of Embraer's second-generation E-Jets E2 family.
