Embraer's E195-E2: Largest regional jet leading global markets

"The E195-E2 stands at the top," according to Embraer. It supports multiple cabin configurations depending on airline needs and has a maximum range of up to 3,000 NM after a performance upgrade in 2024.

Powered by Pratt & Whitney's PW1900G engines, it delivers significant thrust while maintaining fuel efficiency. "Embraer claims the E195-E2 is the quietest single-aisle aircraft in commercial service."

The model was first showcased at the Paris Air Show in 2017 and received type certification in April 2019. Azul Linhas Aereas became its launch operator later that year. As of now, approximately 141 E195-E2s have been delivered globally.

Porter Airlines operates the largest fleet of these jets with plans for further expansion. Other operators include Azul, KLM Cityhopper, Binter Canarias, Air Peace, Helvetic Airways, Royal Jordanian, LOT Polish Airlines, TUI fly (Belgium), Fuerza Aérea Mexicana, and Hunnu Air.

Despite competition from Bombardier's CRJ Series and Airbus's A220-300 model—which offers higher seating capacity—Embraer's E195-E2 remains competitive due to its balance of capacity and efficiency.

"Several airlines are now placing confidence in the type as part of long-term fleet modernization strategies," according to recent industry data.
