Embraer’s E2 family of commercial jets, the
E195-E2 and E190-E2, has received Type Certification from
Transport Canada Civil Aviation (TCCA).
Toronto-based Porter Airlines has 50 E195-E2 on
order as well as options on a further 50, and will soon become the
first company to operate the aircraft type in North America.
The E195-E2 is one of the most environmentally friendly
aircraft in its class, with a 25% lower fuel burn than the
previous generation aircraft, and the E190-E2 achieving 17% lower
emissions.
Both aircraft have one of the lowest levels of external noise,
and one of the longest maintenance intervals in the single-aisle jet
category – with 10,000 flight hours for basic checks and no
calendar limit for typical E-Jet operations. This means an
additional 15 days of aircraft utilization over a period of ten
years compared to current generation E-Jets.
The E190-E2’s take-off performance is particularly
notable, the aircraft’s range from airports with hot-and-high
conditions, such as Denver and Mexico City, increases by 600nm
compared to current-generation aircraft.
The Type Certification from TCCA follows
certification already received from ANAC (Brazil), the FAA (USA)
and EASA (Europe).
