Embraer has secured a firm order for 15 new E195-E2 aircraft from an undisclosed
customer.
The order is valued at US$1.17 billion at list
prices.
The E195-E2 has a range of 2,600nm (4,815km) and
can seat up to 146 people in a single class configuration with 28″
pitch seats, or 132 people with 31″ pitch seats.
If the buyer were to decide to configure the
aircraft with a three-class cabin, the jet could seat, for
example, 120 people of which 12 would have 36″ pitch seats, 24
would get 34″ seats and 84 would be seated in 31″ pitch seats.

commercial

backlog), 20 for the E190-E2 (3 in backlog) and 201 firm orders
for the E195-E2 with 38 already delivered to leave a backlog of
163.
