Embraer joins Bali International Airshow
The world’s third largest aircraft manufacturer shows off planes from the E2 family, as well as its C-390 Millennium and the Super Tucano
Embraer is all set to reveal an innovative range of aircraft and aviation solutions at the upcoming Bali International Airshow on 18 to 21 September.
At the Ngurah Rai International Airport, the aircraft manufacturer will bring prime examples from its commercial aviation, defense and executive jets portfolios, along with scale models of its latest aircraft, including the E2 family of small narrow-body jets and the multi-mission military airlift C-390 Millennium.
Embraer is no stranger to the Indonesian aviation sector. At present, the Indonesian Air Force operates a fleet of A-29 Super Tucanos. Likewise, there is a sizeable fleet of Embraer business jets operating in the country.
Innovative aircraft
The E2 family of small narrow-body jets includes the E190-E2 and the E195-E2, seating up to 114 and 146 passengers, respectively. The E2 family is both the quietest and most fuel efficient single-aisle aircraft family currently in production. In addition to its class-leading economics and sustainability credentials, the E2 family offers a flying endurance of more than six hours to enable airlines the operational flexibility to connect new city pairs across the region, both near and far.
A prime example of this growing connectivity is happening in Indonesia where Scoot, a subsidiary of Singapore Airlines, will commence flights on 28 September 2024 between Singapore and Kertajati International Airport (KJT) using Embraer E190-E2 aircraft.
On the other hand, the C-390 can carry more payload (26 tonnes) compared to other medium-sized military transport aircraft and flies faster (470 knots) and farther, being capable of performing a wide range of missions such as transporting and dropping cargo and troops, medical evacuation, search and rescue, firefighting, and humanitarian missions, operating on temporary or unpaved runways.
The aircraft configured with air-to-air refueling equipment, with the designation KC-390, can operate both as a tanker and as a receiver, in this case also by receiving fuel from another KC-390 using pods installed under the wings.
