Program History & Milestone Timeline
Led by engineer Ozires Silva, the Brazilian government founded Embraer in São José dos Campos to produce the EMB-110 Bandeirante turboprop.
Embraer formally announced the clean-sheet E-Jets (ERJ-170 and ERJ-190), featuring "double-bubble" fuselages and fly-by-wire flight control systems.
The prototype E170 successfully took off from São José dos Campos, launching the most successful regional jet family of the modern era.
LOT Polish Airlines inaugurated commercial flights with the E170 between Warsaw and Vienna, praising passenger satisfaction with zero middle seats.
The E190-E2 made its maiden flight ahead of schedule, entering service in 2018 with Norwegian carrier Widerøe, followed by the high-capacity E195-E2.
