Brazilian airframer and regional transport aircraft specialist Embraer is displaying its E195-E2 for the first time at the ongoing LIMA. The airframer is promoting the aircraft to potential customers in the region as the world’s most efficient and quietest single-aisle aircraft. “We’re proud to display the E195-E2 at LIMA 2023 – the latest commercial aircraft in the industry to enter into service and the largest member of our E-Jet family,” said Raul Villaron, Vice President, Asia Pacific for Embraer Commercial Aviation. “The modern cabin interior with Embraer’s signature two by two seating is popular with passengers wishing to avoid the dreaded middle seat. The economics and performance of the aircraft offer airlines a compelling solution to grow their regional networks and establish new routes while lowering fuel and noise emissions.”
Embraer’s advanced E2 family is shaping the regional market with its sustainable technologies, superior cabin comfort, excellent economics and optimal range. Villaron says Embraer views an opportunity to add more than 100 new routes to Malaysia’s air network with E2 jetliners. This expansion he says, would create around 25,000 new jobs and pump some US$700 million into the national economy.
Currently, 90% of Malaysia’s fleet and backlog comprises of aircraft with more than 150 seats but on an average carriers operating the country typically average around 128 passengers per flight. In fact over more than 360 thousand narrow-body operations in Malaysia in 2019, 50% of them had between 90 and 135 passengers per flight.
Embraer says that the E2s are perfectly positioned to complement the current fleet and can serve 99% of the current narrow-body network. This is due to the fact that the E2 family was designed to offer the lowest trip costs and the best economics when compared to its competitors making it the ideal aircraft to complement narrow-body aircraft and reduce airline operating costs.
The E2 is an ideal aircraft to launch new routes, increasing the number of city pairs in the country, stimulating the economy, and contributing to the general development of airports, MRO’s and aviation industry supply chain.
The E195-E2 which has a capacity of up to 146 passengers is one of the newest and most environmentally friendly aircraft in its class. The new single-aisle jetliner entered commercial service less than five years ago in 2019. The aircraft has a range of 2,600nm, the equivalent of about seven hours of flight. The E2 Profit Hunter family is a brand-new aircraft design equipped with the operational maturity of Embraer’s E-Jets family (9+ years and 22 million flight hours).
The E195-E2 is operated by airlines such as KLM, Azul (Brazil), and most recently, Porter Airlines of Canada.
Embraer has also worked hard at the E195-E2s environmental credentials and the aircraft emits 33% less CO2 with an average passenger per flight of 120 passengers in Malaysia. Embraer and Pratt & Whitney successfully tested a E195-E2 aircraft In early July 2022 on 100% sustainable aviation fuel (SAF). With 100% SAF, the 25% reduction in emissions achieved by the E2 over the first-generation E-Jets can be increased up to an impressive 85%.
The E195-E2 also demonstrated its steep approach capability by landing and taking off at London’s iconic City Airport (LCY) just after the Farnborough Airshow last year. Embraer is also aligned with the industry’s targets to increasing its fuel efficiency in +1.5% per year and reduce emissions in 50% by 2050 from ATAG. It is also aligned with CORSIA to achieve a carbon-neutral growth to commercial aviation, delivering more efficient products and enable more capacity into the market.
