London City Airport, United Kingdom, 22 July 2022 – After departing the Farnborough Airshow, Embraer’s latest aircraft, the E195-E2, made its debut landing at London’s iconic City Airport (LCY); demonstrating the aircraft’s steep approach capability. The visit, in anticipation of the aircraft’s certification for steep approach into London City at the end of this year, included ground handling tests and other preparations for the aircraft’s first scheduled flight into LCY, expected shortly after certification.

The visit demonstrates the importance Embraer places on being able to offer LCY capability to airlines with the E195-E2 – the E190-E2 began operations into LCY with in September 2021. The airport is a vital component of London’s wider connectivity, and Embraer aircraft are uniquely able to manage the challenges of LCY operations; Embraer aircraft account for 85% of all LCY operations on routes as diverse as Edinburgh and Mykonos.

The aircraft, the largest in the E2 family, seating up to 146 passengers, was flown into LCY on a 39% blend of Sustainable Aviation Fuel. Embraer’s test aircraft, featuring the eye-catching black and gold TechLion livery, was welcomed with the traditional water salute from London City Airport’s fire service.

Embraer E195-E2 For India

If Indian based airline is considering regional connections, the Embraer will be an excellent choice. In terms of competition, this aircraft is up against the Airbus A220. If Air India operates short regional flights with fewer passengers, this aircraft might be ideal. Even some surveys have revealed that Indian-based airlines fly aircraft with passenger capacities ranging from 120 to 150 people. In such instances, this can meet the needs of any airline.

The three twinjet variants share a four-abreast narrow-body fuselage with varying lengths and three different new wings, two Pratt & Whitney PW1000G turbofans, fly-by-wire controls with new avionics, and a revised cabin.

It is a competitor to the Airbus A220-300. Because of its low unit costs, the E195-E2 might open up a new market and generate high demand, propelling it into mainline territory. Embraer claims E195 trip costs are 22% less than a 154-seat A320neo and 24% less than a 160-seat 737-8 – yet airlines install extra seats, causing seat costs to differ more than the 6% and 8% claimed by Embraer.
