Status

In production

The Embraer E190-E2 is the second-generation evolution of the original E190, featuring a new wing design, advanced avionics, and significantly more fuel-efficient engines. It is part of Embraer's E2 family, which also includes the E175-E2 and E195-E2, all designed to offer lower operating costs and improved passenger comfort. The aircraft incorporates Pratt & Whitney PW1900G geared turbofan engines, which deliver substantial reductions in fuel burn and noise compared to the first-generation E190. The fly-by-wire flight control system and aerodynamic improvements further enhance efficiency and handling characteristics. The E190-E2 typically seats around 97 passengers in a single-class configuration and is well-suited for thin routes that larger narrowbody jets cannot serve economically. It has found operators among regional and national carriers seeking a modern, cost-effective alternative to older jet equipment.

Notable operators

Notable operators include Azul Brazilian Airlines, KLM subsidiary KLM Cityhopper, and Helvetic Airways.

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.
