Embraer E190-E2: Spec, Market Outlook & Value Projection

The Embraer E190-E2 represents the next generation of regional aviation, delivering lower fuel burn, reduced emissions, and quieter operations through its advanced Pratt & Whitney geared turbofan engines and fourth-generation fly-by-wire technology. Seating up to 114 passengers with a range of nearly 2,950 nautical miles, the aircraft strikes an effective balance between regional flexibility and mainline capability, making it attractive for both short-haul and thin long routes.

The E190-E2 is recognised for its superior economics on shorter sectors, cost efficiency, and cabin comfort with a 2-2 layout. While early engine reliability issues have required close monitoring, the aircraft continues to build a strong operator base across Europe, Asia, and Latin America.

This Appraiser’s Opinion, prepared by ISTAT Certified Senior Appraiser Amit Tyagi, provides a detailed assessment of the E190-E2’s design evolution, operational strengths, competitive standing, and long-term investment outlook in the sub-150-seat market segment.
