More Than 600 Are Flying Worldwide

The fleet of E-Jets of the Embraer 170/190 family continues to attain significant numbers, the most recent being its 3 million flight-hour mark, with outstanding schedule reliability. More than 600 aircraft have transported over 130 million passengers, supporting airlines with business models that vary from regional and network carriers to low-cost companies.

“The air transport industry suffers from ups and downs in passenger demand resulting from changes in the economic scenario. Having flexible and reliable airplanes like the E-Jets in their fleets removes a couple of risks from the airline’s equation, offering more secure alternatives for going through hard times,” said Mauro Kern, Embraer Executive Vice President, Airline Market.

The E-Jets are the most reliable commercial aircraft family up to 122 seats. They have proved to be an effective tool for airlines to reduce operating costs by rightsizing from bigger narrowbody aircraft or by replacing inefficient previous-generation jets. Since they entered service in 2004, the highly efficient E-Jets, when compared to the narrowbodies they right-sized and the older jets they substituted, have contributed to the airline industry by saving over US$ 1 billion in fuel and by reducing roughly 6 million tons of carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions into the atmosphere.

Due to their robust design, the four E-Jets – Embraer 170, Embraer 175, Embraer 190, and Embraer 195 – have achieved an exceptionally low rate of flight cancellations arising from technical problems: less than two flights in every 1,000. This is also the result of the Company’s solid after-sale services, which support a diversified customer base of 53 companies in 35 countries, worldwide, as well as the dedication of mechanics and engineers.
