Embraer 195

Twin Jet· 3 globally registered

The Embraer E195 is the flagship of Brazil's E-Jet family, stretching the original E170 design to seat up to 124 passengers in a single-class layout. Launched in 2004 and entering service with Air Canada in 2006, the E195 carved out a unique niche as the largest aircraft optimized for thin routes and regional operations while offering mainline comfort: wider seats and overhead bins than the competing CRJ900, with a 2-2 cabin layout that passengers genuinely prefer. Its twin GE CF34-10E turbofans deliver a maximum cruise speed of Mach 0.82 and a range of 2,200 nautical miles, making it equally at home on short hops between secondary cities and longer regional trunk routes that can't fill an A320. The type became a workhorse for carriers like Azul Brazilian Airlines, which built its entire network strategy around the E195's economics, and for European operators like KLM Cityhopper serving spoke cities across the continent. Embraer later introduced the E195-E2, a re-engined and re-winged evolution with Pratt & Whitney geared turbofans, but the original E195 remains in widespread service thanks to its proven reliability and lower acquisition costs on the secondary market.
