(DEFENCE SECURITY ASIA) — Embraer’s E195-E2, the world’s most efficient and quietest single-aisle aircraft, will be on display at the 16th edition of Langkawi International Maritime and Aerospace Exhibition (LIMA) starting 23 May 2023.
With a capacity of up to 146 passengers, the E195-E2, which entered into service as recently as 2019, is part of the advanced E2 family that is shaping the regional market with its sustainable technologies, superior cabin comfort, excellent economics and optimal range.
The aircraft has a range of 2,600nm, the equivalent of about seven hours of flight.
“We’re proud to display the E195-E2 at LIMA 2023 – the latest commercial aircraft in the industry to enter into service and the largest member of our E-Jet family,” said Raul Villaron, Vice President, Asia Pacific for Embraer Commercial Aviation.
“The modern cabin interior with Embraer’s signature two by two seating is popular with passengers wishing to avoid the dreaded middle seat.
The economics and performance of the aircraft offer airlines a compelling solution to grow their regional networks and establish new routes while lowering fuel and noise emissions.”
In early July 2022, Embraer and Pratt & Whitney successfully tested a E195-E2 aircraft on 100% sustainable aviation fuel (SAF).
With 100% SAF, the 25% reduction in emissions achieved by the E2 over the first-generation E-Jets can be increased up to an impressive 85%.
The E195-E2 also demonstrated its steep approach capability by landing and taking off at London’s iconic City Airport (LCY) just after the Farnborough Airshow last year.
“We are both glad and extremely excited to have Embraer’s presence at LIMA‘23 which is now one of Asia’s most anticipated events of its kind.
Embraer’s participation this time around amplifies the growing commercial segment within the LIMA series whereby for the 2023 edition, the commercial take up has reached more than 40% whilst the remaining 60% focuses on the defence sector,” Anita Jacobson, Group Managing Director, Alpine Integrated Solution Sdn Bhd, Organiser of LIMA‘23
