Embraer E-Jets & E2 Family
Brazilian regional excellence featuring comfortable 2-2 seating without middle seats
Aviation Heritage & Operational Role
Brazilian aerospace manufacturer Embraer reshaped regional aviation with the E-Jet family (E170, E175, E190, E195) and the updated E2 generation. Designed from the outset with a four-abreast (2-2) double-bubble fuselage cross-section, the aircraft eliminated the hated middle seat while offering standard overhead bins and full-sized lavatories. In North America and Europe, E-Jets bridge regional feeder networks and mainline airline hub operations.
