E-JETS BY EMBRAER
E-JETS BY EMBRAER
By now its clear: airlines dont just like our E-Jets.
They love them. As do their passengers, pilots,
and crews. E-Jets are enhancing the fleet mix of
virtually all the worlds most prestigious airlines.
And since first deliveries in 2004, theyve been
changing the way people fly on every continent
across the globe. Thats because these four popular
jets the E170, E175, E190, and E195 have
unlocked the profit potential of the 70- to 120-seat
category. Bottom line, they give operators the
flexibility to adapt to changing market conditions
and capacity demands without sacrificing economics,
range, or passenger comfort. In fact, E-Jets deliver
an in-flight experience surpassing many narrowbody
aircraft. And since passengers love E-Jets, airlines
do too. All of which means that the right kind of
change can be good.
Rethinking capacity
A WORLD OF CHANGE
Matching aircraft capacity with market demand.
From that simple concept emerged our E-Jets
family of 70- to 120-seat aircraft right-sized
equipment that blurs the line between regional and
mainline jets. Their arrival marked the creation of a
whole new category of aircraft.
And they remain the benchmark for their
class. Handling everything from short sectors
to five-hour legs, E-Jets span all business
models from mainline full-service, to
short-haul local flights, to low-cost carriers.
The result for airlines is a new level of
versatility that changes everything.
Our role in defining the small-capacity
regional jet began with the launch of our
50-seat ERJ 145 in 1996. On shorter, lowerdemand routes, 50-seat jets were ideal. But
we observed that passenger demand was
trending in established markets toward an
optimal 70- to 120-seat configuration. We
saw an opportunity and built an aircraft
family to seize it E-Jets.
Whether the context is emerging or
established markets, E-Jets give carriers
the tools to build or expand their networks
more carefully and more profitably adding
Out of
Africa
E-Jets traverse all
continents, including
the vastness of Africa.
There, customers such
as LAM Linhas Areas
de Moambique (facing
page), Kenya Airways,
EgyptAir Express, and
Air Nigeria are replacing
ageing aircraft and using
E-Jets to bring greater
network connectivity
and frequency.

SPANNING ALL
BUSINESS MODELS
KLM Cityhopper. USA low-cost carrier JetBlue
Airways. Mainline operator Air Canada. All
have put E-Jets to work. And, as a group, they
illustrate the remarkable versatility of a single
aircraft family that spans all business models.
E-Jets now operate in ways no small-capacity
regional jet ever could. Youll find them crossing
continents and crossing oceans, missions that
were once possible only with larger aircraft. In
fact, E-Jets deliver such a superior on-board
passenger experience that airlines routinely
schedule them on the same routes as their
larger single-aisle airplanes.

At Embraer, we believed that right-sizing to unlock
the potential of the 70- to 120-seat segment
required more than simply stretching a 50-seat jet
to increase the number of seats. It required change
a total rethinking of what type of aircraft best
matches the market demands of the segment.
These demands include high expectations

FOR PASSENGERS:
MAINLINE CABIN
COMFORT
E-Jets offer the cabin service amenities of a
mainline product, including at the carriers
option premium cabin and variable pitch
seating configurations for network-wide
product consistency, in-flight entertainment
systems, seatback video monitors, in-seat
power ports, and satellite TV. A two-meter
(6 ft. 7 in.) cabin height and large windows
create a bright and spacious interior
environment. A wide aisle eases movement
about the cabin for more efficient boarding
and deplaning, and faster turnaround times.

FOR PILOTS:
UNCOMMON
COMMONALITY
A common cockpit across all E-Jet models
makes for significant reductions in the time and
expense required for flight crew differences
training requiring only a couple of hours
of manual-reading to qualify from one E-Jet
to another. Setting high standards in mission
performance, pilot comfort, and operating
economics, E-Jet flight decks provide ergonomic
and technological advancements, including
robust fly-by-wire controls, health management
systems, and diagnostic monitoring.

Connections
E-Jets in China flying
for Hebei, Hainan, Tianjin,
and the countrys largest
airline, China Southern
are helping to bring
greater connectivity to
people and commerce,
especially in the western
provinces. The airplanes
are building new airline
networks and growing
local economies. Sensible
capacity. Carefully
applied. Airlines in China
have discovered the true
potential of E-Jets.

Kenya Airways realized that a one-sizefits all aircraft strategy would add too
many seats in many markets it wanted
to serve as it pursued its expansion
objectives. It opted for a fleet of E170s
and E190s to build frequency in carefully
controlled capacity increments and to
offer greater connectivity across the
continent. Whether seated in Business
Class or traveling in the Economy Class
cabin on the E190, passengers enjoy
in-flight entertainment on their individual
touch-screen monitors.

Building on Heritage
In the
Beginning
Modest by todays
standards, Embraers first
airplane, over 40 years
ago, was a light transport
aircraft, a twin turboprop
that could carry only 18
passengers. But, back in
1969, the EMB 110 gave
Embraer a reason for
being. And it also carried
the name Bandeirante,
which means pioneer.
As it turns out, no one
knew then just how
prophetic a name it was.
