Description:
The Embraer 195 is the latest member of the successful Embraer 170/190 family of twin-engine, single aisle, commercial aircraft comprising Embraer 170, 175, 190 and 195 models. The Embraer 170/190 project was initiated in 1999 with $850 million of funds allocated by Embraer and up to 16 international partners. The first flight occurred in 2002 and the airliner entered service in March 2004. Embraer estimates that the entire program could generate $15 billion in revenues in the next 10 years.
The Embraer 195 regional jet provides the higher passenger capacity of the Embraer 170/190 family of aircraft. The aircraft has a range of 1,800 nautical miles cruising at Mach 0.82 and carrying around 108 passengers. It has a wide aisle, large seats, and a passenger capacity of 108 to 118 depending on the cabin layout providing a high degree of comfort. In addition, the aircraft offers low operating costs and operational flexibility.
The Embraer 195 commercial airliner conducted its first flight December 8, 2004, taking off from Embraer's facilities at Sao Jose dos Campos, Brazil, and flying for over two hours. This aircraft is the largest member of Embraer 170/190 aircraft family. Type certification is expected in the second quarter of 2006.
Flybe low-cost airline placed an order for 14 Embraer 195 commercial jets plus 12 additional aircraft as options on 6 June 2005. The estimated value was named at $470 million or $870 million including options. Deliveries to the United Kingdom carrier were scheduled to begin in August 2006 and conclude in November 2007. These aircraft will be configured to carry 118 passengers operating in the United Kingdom regional market and will replace aging BAe 146 fleet.
On 10 July 2006, Taiwanese carrier Mandarin Airlines selected the Embraer 190 and Embraer 195 jetliners for its short-range and intra regional routes. Three Embraer 190s and five Embraer 195s were to be acquired from General Electric Commercial Aviation Services (GECAS) under an operating leases contract.
