Launched in 2013 at the Paris Air Show, the Embraer E-Jet E2 family was intended to represent a significant step forward for the aircraft manufacturer. Despite its design and efficiency improvements, the aircraft has faced challenges in achieving commercial success. The E-Jet E2 is not yet ordered by any US regional airline due to weight restrictions that limit its operations.
Porter Airlines, a Canadian carrier, leads as the largest operator of the Embraer E195-E2 with 42 aircraft in its fleet and 33 more on order. This model supports Porter's long routes, such as those from Toronto Pearson International Airport to San Diego International Airport. The aircraft complements Porter's Dash 8-400 turboprop planes used for shorter routes.
Azul Brazilian Airlines follows with 21 E-Jet E2s and an additional 75 on order. The Brazilian low-cost carrier utilizes these jets to connect underserved destinations efficiently. Azul's configuration includes one more row than Porter’s setup, offering over 130 seats.
