The E195-E2 and the E175 highlight next-generation efficiency, passenger comfort, and right-sized capacity for India's booming aviation market

Hyderabad, January 21, 2026 – Embraer (NYSE: EMBJ / B3: EMBJ3) will display two of its commercial aircraft, the E195-E2 and the E175, at Wings India 2026 in Hyderabad, starting January 28th. Embraer's significant participation in the event underscores the company’s commitment to advancing regional connectivity and sustainable aviation in the Indian market, presenting solutions tailored to address the country’s unique and expanding aviation needs. Both aircraft types provide airlines the right-sized capacity and strong flexibility to open new routes connecting secondary and tertiary cities.

The E195-E2 on static display is the world’s quietest and most fuel-efficient aircraft. This E2 small narrowbody commercial jet builds on the operational excellence of the first-generation E-Jets. Its sophisticated aerodynamics, its cutting edge wing design and its new technologies deliver a 29% decrease in carbon emissions and fuel burn per seat over the previous generation E-Jets. With typical single-class layouts, seating 132–146 passengers, it offers ideal capacity in the sub-150-seat segment.

The Indian market is expected to require at least 500 aircraft in the 80 to 146 seat range over the next 20 years. The E2 family of jets enables the highest seat profits in the small narrowbody segment and is certified to fly with blends of up to 50% sustainable aviation fuel (SAF). The aircraft have already proven its engine’s operability with 100% SAF, further reinforcing Embraer’s commitment to emissions reduction and sustainable aviation.

Already a significant part of the Star Air fleet in India, Embraer’s E175 is a proven regional jet, with a seat capacity of up to 88 passengers. The aircraft is widely recognised for its reliability, economics and performance capabilities. With an 80% share of the regional market in the United States, the E175 is the backbone of regional connectivity across the US. Recent enhancements to the avionics, cabin and passenger experience have elevated the customer experience in the E175 to be more in line with the best-in-class E2s.

“Embraer’s E-Jet programme is one of the most successful in the industry,” said Adity Shekhar, Regional Vice President, Sales, Embraer. “The E-Jets family can transform and grow regional connectivity from tier two and tier three cities in India, tapping on ‘blue ocean’ opportunities.”

Embraer is the leading manufacturer of commercial jets with up to 150 seats. Collectively, the E-Jets and E-Jets E2 are operated by more than 80 airlines across 50 countries and more than 1,900 units delivered. Today, nearly 50 Embraer aircraft across 11 different types operate in India, serving the Indian Air Force, other government agencies, business jet operators and Star Air. Embraer’s is also proposing its Military Transport Aircraft, the C-390 Millennium to the Indian Air Force for their Medium Transport Aircraft (MTA) program under a 'Make in India' partnership with an Indian conglomerate.

As the ‘Aviation Innovation Partner’ for Wings India 2026, Embraer is offering solutions that directly support India's sustainable growth and ambition for enhanced connectivity. The E2 family, with its unparalleled efficiency and passenger comfort is perfectly suited to unlock new routes and optimize operations for Indian carriers.
