Embraer 190

Embraer

We've documented 6 airlines flying the Embraer 190 across 7 cabin configurations, built by Embraer as part of the E-Jet family. Total seat count ranges from 94 to 106 depending on how densely an airline configures it. Its fuselage is 2740mm wide — the fixed physical constraint every airline's cabin layout has to work within, regardless of how they configure the inside.

Every operator we've measured runs the same 31in economy pitch on this type. 1 of these airlines flies more than one cabin layout on this same aircraft type — check which one applies to your specific flight before assuming. 2 of 7 configurations here are verified directly against the operating airline's own published material.

Tell us. Airlines retrofit cabins constantly and different registrations of the same type can carry different cabins. Email corrections@bestplaneseats.com with the airline, flight number, date and what you actually saw.
