Embraer 190
The Embraer 190 is the most widely ordered member of the original E-Jet family, striking a popular balance between capacity and operating cost for airlines. Its four-abreast cabin, wider than older regional jets, gives passengers noticeably more comfort than the narrower ERJ-series aircraft it complements. JetBlue built a significant part of its early network strategy around the type, using it to serve markets too thin for a full-size narrow-body. Its success helped establish the E-Jet family as a serious rival to Bombardier's CRJ series and even some smaller Airbus and Boeing narrow-bodies.
