FLEET · EMBRAER E190 AR · OUR OWN FLEET

The aircraft, Embraer E190 AR.

A hundred seats, every one a window or an aisle: a 2+2 cabin with no middle seat. 2,400 nautical miles of nonstop range, from any base. And the ability to serve city airports and short runways that larger jets can't reach.

CABIN

No middle seat.

The E190 leaves the factory with a 2+2 layout: single aisle, two seats per side. Removing the middle seat isn't luxury: it's the design decision passengers feel most. Faster boarding, shorter turns, more stable OTP.

WHERE OTHERS DON'T ENTER

Short fields, real operations.

The E190 AR is certified for airports where a larger single-aisle jet is restricted or simply can't operate. Four examples where the choice of aircraft defines the route.

EGLC
RUNWAY

London City

1,508 m

5.5° steep approach. Direct access to Canary Wharf and the City. Few certified operators.

FOR THE E190 AR

The E190 AR is among the authorised aircraft; larger jets like the A320 or the 737 can't operate there.

LIRQ
RUNWAY

Florence

1,750 m

Visual approach restricted by terrain. High-value Italian cultural-tourism hub.

FOR THE E190 AR

The E190 operates there at full load; larger jets operate at the limit or with payload restrictions.

LPMA
RUNWAY

Funchal

2,781 m

Runway on an elevated platform over the ocean. Wind shear and mechanical turbulence common.

FOR THE E190 AR

Twin-engine, hot/high performance and adverse-conditions certification make it ideal for island ops.

LOWI
RUNWAY

Innsbruck

2,000 m

Visual curved approach between mountains. Specific crew qualification required.

FOR THE E190 AR

CAT-C certification and E190 agility position it ahead of larger alternatives.

THE FLEET DECISION

Not too much, not too little.

The E190 AR sits in the gap between regional turboprops and larger single-aisle jets such as the Airbus A320 or the Boeing 737. The decision wasn't aesthetic: it was operational.

TOO LITTLE

ATR 72-600

Regional turboprop
SEATS
70
RANGE
825 nm

Falls short on longer routes. Speed and ceiling make it hard to recover the schedule after a delay.

RIGHT-SIZED

Embraer E190 AR

Regional jet · 2+2
SEATS
100
RANGE
2,400 nm

Enough to enter restrictive airports; enough range for long sectors without a stop. The exact equilibrium point.

TOO MUCH

Airbus A320

Standard narrowbody
SEATS
180
RANGE
3,300 nm

Excess capacity for medium regional volumes. Runway restrictions at LCY/LIRQ. Higher CASK on thin routes.

FLEET AT LAUNCH

Two aircraft, operated by us.

We begin operations with two Embraer E190 AR. Our own aircraft, our own crew and a direct contract with us.
