About the Embraer E170 and E175

The Embraer E170 first flew on 19 February 2002 and entered service with LOT Polish Airlines in March 2004, kicking off the E-Jet era that redefined regional aviation. The E175, a 3.8-metre stretch seating up to 88 passengers, followed in July 2005 with Air Canada. Both types offer a 2-2 seat arrangement — meaning every passenger gets a window or aisle seat — that gives the E-Jet family its reputation for comfort above turboprops and older regional jets.

The E175 has become the dominant regional jet in North America, where scope clause restrictions between major carriers and their regional partners cap aircraft weight and seat count in ways that favour the E175 over larger regional jets. SkyWest Airlines is the world's largest E-Jet operator with over 260 aircraft; Republic Airways, Envoy Air, and Horizon Air together operate hundreds more E175s under United Express, American Eagle, and Alaska Eagle branding. As of 2025 the E170 and E175 family has accumulated no fatal hull-loss accidents across more than 20 years of service — an exceptional safety record for a widely operated regional jet fleet.

Frequently asked questions

Is the Embraer E170/E175 safe?
The Embraer E170 and E175 have an outstanding safety record. As of 2025 — more than 20 years of commercial operation — neither type has been involved in a fatal hull-loss accident. Incidents have been minor, typically involving runway excursions or bird strikes with no fatalities, making the E170/E175 family one of the safest regional jets in service.
How many fatal Embraer E170/E175 accidents have there been?
As of 2025, no fatal hull-loss accident has been recorded involving the Embraer E170 or E175 variants. The type has been in service since 2004 across hundreds of aircraft, primarily in North America, Europe, and Asia, without a passenger fatality directly attributable to an accident involving these aircraft.
Which airline has the largest E170/E175 fleet?
SkyWest Airlines operates over 260 E-Jets (primarily E175s), making it the world's largest E-Jet operator. Republic Airways and Envoy Air each operate over 130 E175s for American Eagle and United Express. In Europe, Helvetic Airways and Régional d'Europe are significant E175 operators.
What's the difference between the E170 and E175?
The E175 is stretched by 3.8 metres compared to the E170, adding up to 10 additional seats while sharing the same cockpit and type rating. The E175 is the dominant variant in North America due to its size fitting precisely within scope clause weight limits that many US major-carrier contracts impose on regional flying.
How many seats does an Embraer E170/E175 have?
The E170 seats 70-78 passengers in a 2-2 single-class layout. The E175 seats 76-88 passengers, with the US regional standard often being exactly 76 seats in a two-class layout to comply with scope clause weight restrictions. All passengers on both types get either a window or an aisle seat, with no middle seat.
When was the Embraer E170/E175 introduced?
The E170 entered service with LOT Polish Airlines in March 2004 on European routes. The E175 entered service with Air Canada in July 2005. The E175-E2 (second-generation with new Pratt & Whitney PW1700G engines) entered service with Helvetic Airways in January 2021.
