Embraer 195-E2 Overview
The Embraer E195-E2 is the largest member of Embraer's second-generation E-Jet family, developed to extend the reach and efficiency of regional and short-haul flying beyond what the original E-Jet series offered. Built around a redesigned high-aspect-ratio wing, geared turbofan engines and a full fly-by-wire flight control system, the aircraft was engineered to lower fuel burn and operating cost per seat while retaining the manoeuvrability that regional operators rely on for shorter runways and dense route networks.
In scheduled service, the E195-E2 typically carries between 120 and 132 passengers in a two-class layout, with a maximum single-class configuration accommodating up to 146. Its twin-aisle-free, 2-2 cabin means no middle seats at any density, a layout that continues to appeal to airlines competing on comfort in the sub-150-seat segment. For charter operators, the aircraft's blend of respectable range, compact ground footprint and airport flexibility makes it well suited to group travel, regional business circuits and thinner routes that larger narrow-bodies can't serve efficiently — the kind of profile Simply Jet regularly sources for clients moving mid-sized groups between secondary airports.
Aircraft Features
Range and Efficiency
The E195-E2 offers a range of 4,815 km (2,600 nm), giving it reach across most single-region and cross-border regional networks without a fuel stop. Its geared turbofan engines and redesigned high-aspect-ratio wing were developed specifically to reduce fuel consumption and per-seat operating cost relative to the earlier E-Jet generation, supporting more economical positioning and repositioning legs for charter operators.
Passenger Comfort and Layout
The cabin seats up to 146 passengers in a 2-2 configuration with no middle seats, spread across a cabin measuring 27.8 m in length, 2.74 m in width and 2 m in height. The absence of a middle seat at any density is a defining feature of the E-Jet family, and the E195-E2's cabin cross-section carries this through even at its highest-density layout.
Cabin Storage and Amenities
Overhead bins fit approx. 120 carry-on bags across the cabin, alongside a 22.5 m³ (795 cu ft) hold that takes approx. 225 checked bags.
Passengers travel in a 2-2 layout with no middle seat at any density, giving every seat aisle or window access. The cabin features LED mood lighting that shifts gradually through each phase of flight, in-seat power at every seat, and Wi-Fi connectivity on equipped aircraft. Leather seating with adjustable headrests and a bi-fold sliding tray table adds further comfort, while the removal of legs between seats opens up additional under-seat space for bags. Touchless lavatories round out the cabin's passenger-facing amenities, reflecting the E195-E2's positioning as the quietest single-aisle aircraft in its class.
Flight Operations and Safety
The E195-E2 is powered by twin Pratt & Whitney PW1900G-series geared turbofan engines and operates with a maximum speed of 876 km/h (544 mph) at altitude. Its closed-loop fly-by-wire flight control system provides full flight-envelope protection across all phases of flight, an enhancement over the open-loop system used on the original E-Jet family. The aircraft holds ETOPS 120 approval from Brazilian, US and European regulators, supporting extended overwater and diversion routing.
Benefits of Chartering a Embraer 195-E2 for Group Travel
Chartering the Embraer E195-E2 suits groups and operators looking for a balance between capacity and efficiency that larger narrow-body aircraft can't match on shorter or thinner routes. Its regional-jet footprint allows it to access a wider range of airports than mainline narrow-bodies, while its 2-2 cabin layout gives every passenger aisle or window access without a middle seat, a comfort advantage that matters on charter flights where passenger experience is a priority rather than an afterthought. The aircraft's fuel efficiency, inherited from its geared turbofan engines and redesigned wing, also translates into more competitive charter economics on routes where larger aircraft would be underutilised. For groups travelling between secondary or regional airports not well served by mainline jets, the E195-E2 offers a practical combination of range, capacity and operating flexibility.
195-E2 Certification
The Embraer E195-E2 first flew on 29 March 2017, ahead of its originally scheduled test programme, and entered commercial service in 2019 following certification by Brazil's ANAC alongside the FAA and EASA on 15 April 2019, with Azul Brazilian Airlines as launch operator. The variant shares its fuselage cross-section and cabin architecture with the smaller E190-E2 and E175-E2, differing primarily in fuselage length, wingspan and maximum take-off weight; as the largest of the three, the E195-E2 carries the highest seating capacity and, following a 2024 performance upgrade that raised maximum take-off weight to 62,500 kg, the longest range in the family at 3,000 nm.
How much does it cost to charter a Embraer 195-E2?
Prices to charter a regional jet generally start from around €35,000 for a one-hour flight for smaller aircraft in the category, and around €55,000 for a one-hour flight for larger regional jets. The final cost is influenced by several factors, including route distance, airport fees, handling charges, aircraft availability, passenger count, onboard service requirements, seasonal demand and positioning logistics.
Pricing is typically higher during peak travel periods, weekends, major events and high-demand months. Regional jets are particularly suitable for corporate shuttles, sports teams, incentive groups and medium-sized delegations.
