Embraer E190

E90 E190 Out of Production

The Embraer E190 is a twin-engine regional jet sized to bridge regional and mainline flying, seating about 96 passengers and up to 114 single-class. Two GE CF34-10E5 turbofans give a cruise of 829 km/h and a range near 4,537 km. First flown in 2004, the E190 is 36.2 metres long with a 28.7-metre wingspan and a maximum takeoff weight of 51,800 kg. Its four-abreast, 2-2 cabin avoids middle seats and offers mainline-standard comfort at regional-jet scale. Carriers such as JetBlue used the type to serve smaller airports where the economics of a full narrow-body would not work, filling routes between commuter turboprops and larger single-aisle jets.

About Embraer E190

Le plus grand E-Jet avec une capacité de 100 sièges, faisant le pont entre les opérations régionales et les lignes principales. JetBlue utilise l'E190 pour desservir des aéroports plus petits qui ne peuvent pas supporter les économies d'appareils plus grands.

Frequently Asked Questions

The Embraer E190 typically seats 97 passengers in a standard two-class configuration with 10 first class and 87 economy seats. In a single-class layout, it can carry up to 114 passengers. The cabin features a 2-2 seating arrangement at 2.74 m wide, identical to the smaller E175 but with a longer fuselage accommodating more seat rows.

The Embraer E190 has a maximum range of approximately 4,537 km (2,450 nautical miles) with a full passenger load. This range covers routes like New York to Houston, London to Athens, or Sao Paulo to Buenos Aires. The aircraft is powered by two General Electric CF34-10E engines, which provide 18,500 lbs of thrust each, a significant step up from the CF34-8E engines on the smaller E175.

The E190's 2-2 seating configuration is its biggest passenger comfort advantage — there are no middle seats anywhere in the aircraft. Every passenger has either a window or aisle seat, which is uncommon for a jet of this size. The overhead bins are large enough for standard carry-on roller bags, and the 2.0 m cabin height allows comfortable standing for most passengers. The wide window design also provides good natural light throughout the cabin.

JetBlue Airways is one of the most prominent E190 operators, using the type on thinner routes from its Northeast US focus cities. Azul Brazilian Airlines operates the largest E190 fleet in Latin America. In Europe, KLM Cityhopper and Air France HOP fly the E190 on regional European routes. Copa Airlines in Panama and Aeromexico Connect also maintain significant E190 fleets for connecting smaller cities to their respective hubs.

The A220-100 (formerly Bombardier CS100) is the closest competitor to the E190, both targeting the 100-seat market. The A220-100 seats about 110 passengers in two classes versus the E190's 97, and offers superior range at 5,460 km compared to 4,537 km. The A220-100 also features more advanced Pratt & Whitney geared turbofan engines with lower fuel consumption. However, the E190 has a lower purchase price and a well-established global support network after nearly two decades of operation.
