Airplane economics: A220-300 vs E195-E2

These two aircraft compete vigorously. The A220 benefits from Airbus’s market power. The E195-E2 still competes, as Embraer marketing points to its excellent numbers. Embraer

may not have Airbus’s resources, but it makes up for it by moving faster and implacably.

When reading the marking documents from any OEM, it is quickly apparent that only one airplane can be “best.”  Fortunately, objective data helps clear the fog. Our source is the excellent Skailark data. The tables and charts reflect the top operators by flight frequencies, and the red dots and triangles reflect high points.
