Whats up All,
The Embraer E195 E2 in-service fleet reached an essential milestone: it surpassed the in-service tally of the older technology E195 predecessor (145 vs. 144). This submit compares the respective fleets.
A extra concentrated E2 fleet (for now)
The E195 E2 has 11 energetic operators, in contrast with 17 for the E195. The fleet is extra concentrated with a 21% HHI (vs. 11%). The airways that function 10 or extra E2s are Porter Airways (47), Azul (36), KLM Cityhopper (23), and Binter Canarias (16). The older-generation variant’s largest operators are Azul (34), Austrian Airways (17), Air Dolomiti (17), LOT (16), Tianjin Airways (14), and SAS Hyperlink (13).
Beneath is the operator breakdown by the area:
The regional operator breakdown exhibits that the E195-E2 has managed to “break by means of” with North American carriers (Porter and will probably be with Avelo Airways) that aren’t constrained by scope clauses. It’s much less common with Asia Pacific and European carriers, however the latest SAS order.
A program slowly ramping up
The Airbus A220 outshone the Embraer E2 for a number of years in gross sales and deliveries. Airbus was initially extra aggressive with pricing on orders, and Embraer was held again through the potential merger interval with Boeing. The A220-300 can be bigger, which is mostly favored in a market with up-gauging tendencies.
Embraer is now gaining extra E2 gross sales, particularly with the most important variant. Regardless of the E195 E2’s smaller dimension, its per-seat economics are surprisingly near these of the bigger A220-300. Second-order components akin to community match and operational circumstances make the distinction between the 2.
The E195 E2’s lighter airframe strains the (still-frail) GTFs lower than the heavier A220. The lighter airframe additionally has decrease upkeep prices. It requires shorter runways than the A220-300. Embraer additionally managed to extend its nominal vary to three,000 nautical miles, which is sufficient for nearly all the potential US Transcontinental flights.
Final however not least, Embraer is not less than breaking even when not worthwhile with E2 deliveries, whereas Airbus remains to be shedding a whole lot of tens of millions of {dollars} yearly on the A220 program. With the bigger OEMs favoring the bigger plane variants, Embraer has a real shot at long-term success with its E2 program.
