E290 / E295
Embraer E190-E2 / E195-E2
Aircraft Category
C
Purpose or Role in Game
Regional jet with long range that is becoming increasingly prevalent as a replacement of lower capacity narrow body aircraft. Competes primarily with the Airbus A220-100. Officially, the E175-E2 is also part of the family, however, to date there have been no confirmed orders due to it failing to meet US scope clause agreements for regional airlines and the relative young age of existing E170/E175 aircraft.
Why should this aircraft be added?
Increasing prevalence in many airline fleets as it’s a new aircraft type. This is especially true for GRU, as Azul is a major operator of the E195-E2 and operates many real-life routes using it instead of the existing E190 in-game.
Airlines that use it
Most notable airlines include: Azul, Porter Airlines, KLM Cityhopper, Helvetic, Scoot, LOT Polish
Special characteristics or variants
Aircraft have a long range despite being quite small; for example, Royal Jordanian uses its E195-E2 on routes to Europe, such as to Amsterdam (AMS/EHAM). However, the aircraft are also certified to operate to unique airports such as London City Airport (LCY/EGLC) with Helvetic operating the E195-E2 there, making it the largest aircraft able to operate out of the airport.
