Embraer’s E2 family emerged with great promise, only to be met with the negative tsunami that was Boeing’s perfidious merger move. This took a toll on the E2’s momentum, as it did on the entire Embraer commercial aircraft division. It has been some time since then, Embraer has bounced back, and the E2 family is seeing growing market acceptance. What do we know about the aircraft’s performance?
Expectations for the E2 were high because of the reputation Embraer had built from the E-Jet family. Where many other OEMs had stumbled in the “crossover jet” segment, Embraer proved it could deliver the right aircraft economics in what had been called the “aircraft graveyard.” The outcome was Embraer owned the space from 100-120 seats. If you needed an aircraft that size, Embraer was the top choice.
Co-Founder AirInsight. My previous life includes stints at Shell South Africa, CIC Research, and PA Consulting. Got bitten by the aviation bug and ended up an Avgeek. Then the data bug got me, making me a curious Avgeek seeking data-driven logic. Also, I appreciate conversations with smart people from whom I learn so much. Summary: I am very fortunate to work with and converse with great people.
