living in switzerland, I have experienced several short-haul flights through europe on both aircrafts. Swiss has many A220s while Helvetic has an exclusive Embraer fleet with mainly E190/195-E2 and 4 E190-E1. I like both and think it is a personal choice which one you prefer. In my case as half-brazilian of course I love to fly on the Embraers. In Brazil used to fly weekly between Rio and Campinas with Azul on their older ERJs with the 2-1 configuration. These flights give you the feeling of being in a private jet because they are so tiny and lightweight. What is missing in this report is to point out that the operation cost of the E195-E2 is largely lower than the A220, with almost the same number of passangers transported. that is why the E2 is called "profit hunter", and I wonder why not more airlines have decided in favour of this aircraft which really allows to reduce costs considerably.
I do think some airline prefer the range of the A220 compare to the E-Jets since most of these airlines that ordered the A220 are mostly legacy carriers or leisure carriers I mean I certainly wouldn’t call them low-cost airline like Ryanair. If a airline is solely having the airplane for range then they might just want a small airplane with a greater range to target smaller airport or regions. The E-Jets is pretty much very well suited to short hops destination and airport that has a very high demand and I mean, technically, that’s what a regional airplane is. (Since regional airplane mostly serve for the purpose of connecting destination to Hubs) Most people can dispute the reasons but range might be the reason.
The A220 development has been heavily subsided by the Canadian government, so its slaw price is competitive against the E2-Jets. While the listing prices are equivalent, the A220 uses much more expensive materials so achieves a better fuel economy in the end.
I'm sure there is some sort of agreement between airlines and Airbus. In order to have benefits for the rest of the airbus planes, they can't go to Embraer for their smaller ones
Hard to call the A220 a regional jet. It’s a small narrowbody whose efficiency allows it to fly very far. Embraer has always made true regional jets, small and nippy. i’ve never flown either of two, but i’ve heard great things about both, so i’m looking forward to my first flights with them.
If you calculate their per passanger kilometer efficiencies, both are very similar. The a220 flies further basically bc it has 60% more fuel, not bc of greater eficciency
As Simple Flying states in this video, Embraer's E195-E2 does NOT COMPETE with the Airbus A220-300. Rather, the largest Embraer commercial airliner only competes with the smallest Airbus product, the A220-100. Looking at the market under this perspective, Embraer has, indeed, outperformed Airbus, with more firm orders (source: Wikipedia): - E195-E2: 245 firm orders - A220-100: 93 firm orders Of course, lots of airlines place orders for aircraft FAMILIES, not just individual subtypes, which is why lots of airlines have placed orders for the A220-300, with the expectation it may be further extended into A220-500. Embraer's commercial strategy only focuses on the sub-150 passenger market, avoiding direct competition with Boeing and Airbus.
E-2 is stagnating! The A220 keeps selling. The A220 had few orders because of the engine problem. If it hadn't been for that, it would have sold like water.
agree, i really like the A220 for it's capabilities and the look of the cockpit/nose section but when it comes to wings and general aircraft silhouette the E195 E2 is hell of a slick airplane
The Embraer jets and their 2-2 seat configuration are a superior flying experience with larger seats and more room than the 2-3 airbus product. As a former Jetblue employee I have had many flights on the e190 and it was my favorite flying experience ever- it feels like a much larger jet.
Are you sure the seats are larger in the Embraer? Looking online, I'm seeing the seat width for the E195-E2 listed as 18.3 inches and the width of the A220 seats listed as 18.6 inches. Based on that, it looks like the A220 actually has slightly larger seats. This would make sense, since even though it is a 3-2 configuration, the body of the plane is wider to compensate. Regardless both of these planes have larger seats than the A320 and 737 so I'd still rather fly either the E195-E2 or A220 over the 737 or A320.
This is the comparison we have all been waiting for! The A220 was meant to compete with the E195-E2, after all, when Airbus acquired the A220, Boeing quickly tried to enter into a partnership with Embraer and to aquire their commercial aircraft.
I don't think the A220 is in the same category as the 195-E2, one was made to operate short routes with low demand and high cost benefit (195), the other is being acquired to operate long routes with more versatility on the cabin configuration(220-300). The 220 has a different purpose, and it may affect not the 195 sales only, but certainly the A320 neo sales.
Aside from the A220 turning out to be a game changer, Embraer gambled on the scope clause getting updated for sales to US regional airlines. That hasn't happened, and the E175-E2 hasn't won a single order yet (while the previous-generation E175 is still flying off the lot, so to speak). Interesting that Canada's Porter Airlines, which had once planned to buy what was then called the Bombardier C-Series (opposition to jets based at Toronto Billy Bishop airport killed the deal) ended up ordering E2s, which will be based at Toronto Pearson. They must have gotten a great deal. I'm hoping to fly on one before too long, though I think they're sticking with Dash-8s on flights to my hometown of St. John's.
The E2 is 20% more fuel efficient per distance traveled. The E2 is also 22% more efficient per passenger transported. Comparing both at their maximum capabilities. E2 is more economical and the A220 has greater autonomy and carries more passengers
Nope that is completely false. Lower trip cost for embraer, but lower seat cost for A220. This has been concluded by many airlines, so to sit an say 20% more efficient is just taken from you ass. I dont need to convice you, i just want nobody to read your comment and think it is true.
The A220 is such a good aircraft, but it all depends on the needs of the airline. I believe that south east asia region will be a great fit for the embraer as there are many regional airports with shorter runways which will be a good fit.
Going by max range and amount of fuel it can carry it'd depend on the situation but it appears the Embraer would be slightly more. It wouldn't hurt being a smaller but longer fuselage giving it aerodynamic advantage over the A220
I was so impressed with the Embraer jet that I started buying stock in the company. Both Delta and American Airlines have the e2 a comfortable flying experience
They are both obviously terrific aircrafts. As an airplane enthusiast I lean slightly towards the A220. I like its sleek design. But not to take away from the E2 for it is also a nice looking aircraft. I do prefer the wings of the E2.
E2 is my favorite, I have flown with both recently but the seats and leg pace of E2 makes it travel way more comfortable, also the 2x2 seats configuration always avoids the squeezed experience
I like both planes but i lean to the E2 because i am going to work on them in the KLM cityhopper fleet as an intern aircraft engineer. Hopefully they are easier to maintain then the Fokker 100 we have at school😂.
The E2 is a great airplane (kind of crazy when you consider its engine diameter is almost the same as the fuselage diameter), but its higher weight means it got shafted by the Scope clause which limits its use by US regional carriers which are the main users of the previous generation E jets. Without its bread and butter regional airline customers, that means the E2 needs to sell to the larger scale airlines where its shorter range and smaller capacity becomes a bigger factor when these airlines are deciding to purchase an aircraft and that does put it in direct competition with the smaller A220 variants. Hopefully the Scope clause gets adjusted by the time the regional carriers need to replace their fleets (I believe most previous gen E jets in the US aren't that old)
Outside of Brazil and except for KLM , I'm noticing it's mostly smaller and regional carriers (Wideroe, Porter, Binter Canarias) opting for the E2 while "legacy" airlines choose the A220. From all indications the E2 customers are happy with it, but they really need a home-run order from Air India or something like that.
@@zombiedodge1426 I mean there could also be a reason of range since ultimately it is based off of the airlines operational model because if it’s short hops to connect to different hubs then the E-Jets is your best option but if you’re trying to fly a long range and would like the airplane that is similar to the capacity of the E-Jets in order to connect to smaller destination then the A220 is your best option.
They expected the scope clause to get changed but it didn't happen. Their problem is that the 175E1 still sells extremely well (okay, on the one hand it's good for them, but not for the E2). The 175E1 fleets are pretty young and will not need replacement for a long time. I fear that until they need replacement there will be another whole new generation of aircraft using a different technology maybe, so the 175E2 is not competitive anymore then.
Having flown on both (Helvetic and swiss) I was very surprised on the E2 it was bright, spacious, comfortable and relaxing. The A220 was nice but since flying on the E2 it has really been the benchmark (pains me to say as a staunch Airbus man). As a single isle short hall A/C i give the E2 8/10 and the A220 gets 6.5/10 from me. Wrt the A220 just stick to the tried and trusted A320 NEO the A220 felt a bit lost and unfamiliar and regretably if one finds themselves sitting at an overwing exit, wrap up. There is a nasty thermal bridge somewhere and ITS COLD, really cold.
Although A220 has greater range and biggest variant greater capacity, E2 is cheaper, more versatile in short haul routes and consumes less fuel. Also it can be integrated fast into fleets of current Embraer operators, as almost no trainings is required to switch from one type to another and maintenance personnel can be learned faster as although being heavily modernized, it still shares a lot of commonalities with older generation.
While Embraer may list lower prices, we don't know what are the actual prices Airbus has been selling the A220 for. Given how the Canadian government has been financing the whole project and Embraer has bills to pay, I bet that Airbus is in a much better position to undercut Embraer.
I’ve flown on the Airbus A220/Bombardier with Swiss from Zurich to Paris shortly after the plane was put into service. It was pretty damn comfortable and spacious even though it was a 2-3 layout. Smooth, quiet, enjoyed it. I think it’s a great competitor for short point to point markets.
I’m struggling to see why european regionals (iberia express, air france hop, ba cityflyer) haven’t snapped up the new embraers…. Cheaper, fuel efficient, more range etc.
After watching this Video Topic on Airbus & Embraer I hope too fly on both there Planes soon there A220-300's with JetBlue Airways and E195-E2 Jets with Porter Airlines which I saw on Delivery from my Home Country Barbados Awesome Video!!!!
Actually if airlines want to get a regional aircraft E2 family is the best option in the market. The only question mark is its PW engine. These engines aren't reliable. A220-300 is more like a standard narrow body aircraft like A319 and B737-7. It has more passenger capacity and more range. E195-E2 is the best option for the big airlines which wants to pump their network with some smaller cities. However American laws concider it is not a regional jet. This is why it sells less than A220 family.

There is an ongoing battle behind the scenes to change/not change the regulations. Each manufacturer biding what it helps them - as far as I know.
The A220 is not a regional jet either. The -300 has slightly more seats but it's heavier too. I think cost a seat mile is pretty similar, however overall operating cost are higher for the A220. So the Airline must be able to sell these extra seats to make the A220 work.
E2 series Ejets are basically cheaper to buy (average 25 million dollars cheaper) and operate despite their shorter range and passenger capacity, as a passenger I'll pay extra to fly 2x2 seating any time any day and man oh man those new wings on the embraer are sooo sexy and so well made imho.
Both are great planes, sadly their engine options can't make them suitable for hot and high airports. Aeromexico is struggling to replace their current E190-E1 jets for their regional use 😢😢
In Greece we have many small islands and smaller planes are usually needed but the airlines go for the ATR. I would like to see an Embraer for these routes
As a Canadian I found it hilarious Boeing tried to squash the C-series and ended up giving airbus a perfect platform to enter into that market segment, which is now an extremely popular product.
Gimme an EMB-120 and I’ll be happy. (First Commercial Job was F/O on a Buffed aluminum ASA EMB-120. I’ll always love that Airfame, Livery, and aircraft). I still have a soft spot for Turboprops. -Current 737 MAX 8 Captain.
Only flew on the 195-E2 out of these 2. The KLM one. In a week i will fly on the Air Baltic A220-300. So only then i will be able to really compare them. I really liked the 195-E2 though, they are super comfy and everything just works on it. The 2-2 configuration is also superb.
I haven't yet flown on the A220 or the 195E2 but have flown a lot on the 737S., How does the aisle width compare on the A220/195E2 with the 737. I found the 737's aisle width horribly narrow even for wheeling your carry-on bag down the aisle!
The A-220 stands out as an exceptional aircraft, boasting widespread popularity - Over 740 orders for the A220 make it the new popular short-haul regional aircraft compared to Embraer's 200 orders after its initial launch.
What about the all important cost and fuel consumption comparison? I think the E2 wins in this department. I love smaller aircraft and 2x2 configuration is a winner.
Speaking of regional jets, is the Superjet 100 still a thing? I've read that Russia's UAC sold the program to a UAE company, *and* that they're working on a "sanctions-proof" version without Western components. Either way, Russian airlines will need *something* in this class, and the A220/E2/MAX 7 are no longer available to them. Even the COMAC ARJ21 is out because it has so many Western components. Time for a Tu-134 Neo or Yak-40 MAX, perhaps?
80% Load factor means that a 5 abreast aircraft would have all the middle seats empty. Do you prefer 2 seats with someone on your side or 3 seats without someone in the middle? I worked for Embraer and Bombardier... there are arguments for everything and anything. Yet, airline decisions are made on cost per seat, available delivery slots, financing and pricing (commonality if there is an existing fleet)... the rest is the rest as airplanes are just commodities designed to generate huge headaches...
The runway length discussion is flawed. Carriers have been using the A220 to service much shorter runways by capping loads. The A220 can service sub-5,000' runways easily by capping the passenger counts to the 140 passenger range. So it really is an extremely versatile jet, which is why jetblue will use them to replace the E190 servicing very short runways like EYW, MVY, ACK, etc.
this comparison was weak, it didn't talk about fuel consumption, speed, noise both on takeoff and flying and especially for those who have flown both planes, do you think which one is better?
For the narrow body, embraer E2 is the most efficient aircraft, and in the future, embraer will introduce embraer 195e2 LR to match 3000nmi range. For Airbus, a220 is a big win when they took it from bombardier. They could use them to replace all a320 family as a220-900Lr or even a221LR in the long term. For Boeing, bring back 717 and make the larger version such as 717-300.
I think Boeing regrets shutting down the 717 and 757 programs (or not creating replacements when they had the chance). Though the 717 lives on, sort of, as the Chinese COMAC ARJ21.
The 717 was a renewed version of the dc-90, if Boeing wanted to re-enter the small jets market, they would definetelly need to develop a clean sheet design to be able to meet modern expectations
As stated on Porter's website, here is the answer - Given the A220 family's popularity, Airbus has amassed a massive backlog of nearly 600 aircraft, significantly delaying deliveries. The E2's backlog is currently only around 200, meaning customers could likely get their planes much faster.
I prefer flying in an E170 aircraft fitted with a turbo-prop engine. I frequently fly commercial which takes just 1hr: 10mins into low capacity airports in my country, so both A220 and E190 E2 will not do. Embraer should consider building one.
The Brazilian manufacturer Desaer has its project that will be a replacement for the Bandeirante. Certainly, if it is cost-effective, it could be widely used for flights between interior cities.
It's rather pathetic that Boeing chose to file an injunction, instead of designing a plane to compete with the 220. I mean I understand that they would have been years behind design wise, but still. It's pathetic
Boeing was afraid they will lose out to Delta with their Boeing 737-Max 7 offering vs the Bombardier CS-300 so played the "they are dumping unfairly" card. End result, Airbus bought off Bombardier for a $1 or something ridiculous since Bombardier ran out of money to sustain the program. How Bombardier mismanaged the program is a different story though.

I’ve flown on the Airbus A220/Bombardier with Swiss from Zurich to Paris shortly after the plane was put into service. It was pretty damn comfortable and spacious even though it was a 2-3 layout. Smooth, quiet, enjoyed it. I think it’s a great competitor for short point to point markets.
As a consumer, I would hate to have a middle seat in a 2x3 config.
E2 is quieter and more efficient
I’m struggling to see why european regionals (iberia express, air france hop, ba cityflyer) haven’t snapped up the new embraers…. Cheaper, fuel efficient, more range etc.
After watching this Video Topic on Airbus & Embraer I hope too fly on both there Planes soon there A220-300's with JetBlue Airways and E195-E2 Jets with Porter Airlines which I saw on Delivery from my Home Country Barbados Awesome Video!!!!
I like both of them...hard to choose since they are both great aircraft for me.😊
Actually if airlines want to get a regional aircraft E2 family is the best option in the market. The only question mark is its PW engine. These engines aren't reliable. A220-300 is more like a standard narrow body aircraft like A319 and B737-7. It has more passenger capacity and more range. E195-E2 is the best option for the big airlines which wants to pump their network with some smaller cities. However American laws concider it is not a regional jet. This is why it sells less than A220 family.
There is an ongoing battle behind the scenes to change/not change the regulations. Each manufacturer biding what it helps them - as far as I know.
The A220 is not a regional jet either. The -300 has slightly more seats but it's heavier too. I think cost a seat mile is pretty similar, however overall operating cost are higher for the A220. So the Airline must be able to sell these extra seats to make the A220 work.
E2 series Ejets are basically cheaper to buy (average 25 million dollars cheaper) and operate despite their shorter range and passenger capacity, as a passenger I'll pay extra to fly 2x2 seating any time any day and man oh man those new wings on the embraer are sooo sexy and so well made imho.
Both are great planes, sadly their engine options can't make them suitable for hot and high airports.
Aeromexico is struggling to replace their current E190-E1 jets for their regional use 😢😢
A220 reminds me of my favorite Mad Dog 80 minus the crazy noise in the back
In Greece we have many small islands and smaller planes are usually needed but the airlines go for the ATR. I would like to see an Embraer for these routes
As a Canadian I'm biased towards the A220 as it was originally a Bombardier plane before they just left the aviation industry essentially
Technically they still make business jets lol
I'm eager to fly aboard BOTH aircraft!
As a Canadian I found it hilarious Boeing tried to squash the C-series and ended up giving airbus a perfect platform to enter into that market segment, which is now an extremely popular product.
Gimme an EMB-120 and I’ll be happy.
(First Commercial Job was F/O on a Buffed aluminum ASA EMB-120. I’ll always love that Airfame, Livery, and aircraft).
I still have a soft spot for Turboprops.

Only flew on the 195-E2 out of these 2. The KLM one. In a week i will fly on the Air Baltic A220-300. So only then i will be able to really compare them.
I really liked the 195-E2 though, they are super comfy and everything just works on it. The 2-2 configuration is also superb.
E195-E2 takeoff with 1,3 km --> very good
So basically the e2 is by far the best value for money. Providing an efficient comfortable aircraft. But politics is getting in the way.
You should compare the CRJ with the ERJ
As a passenger, E2 was very comfortable, Airbus in not that much different, i just feel like it's a regular Airbus plane. E2 is just so comfortable.
😎👍✈️🇧🇷
When is the next fleet deep dive analysis video coming? Please do more Chinese carriers or Iberia and Oman Air just to name a few
An essential comparison was missing: E2 jets are much quieter

The 220 isn’t a regional jet? It can fly over 3000 miles… it’s classified as medium haul.
So e195 can land in runways of 1,600 meters?
I haven't yet flown on the A220 or the 195E2 but have flown a lot on the 737S., How does the aisle width compare on the A220/195E2 with the 737. I found the 737's aisle width horribly narrow even for wheeling your carry-on bag down the aisle!
For me I love both planes because they are pretty much same and I just like how it's made but I've never ridden an A220 but this year I will
The most important value is cost per seat since this aircraft could end on united express, American Eagle or any low cost airline
The A-220 stands out as an exceptional aircraft, boasting widespread popularity - Over 740 orders for the A220 make it the new popular short-haul regional aircraft compared to Embraer's 200 orders after its initial launch.
I wish US airlines start buying Embraer E2.
The "same engines" can be tuned differently. So they might not have the same output from one plane to the next.
E2s r the best without The Middle seat
Embraer is underrated
Allwas thought the 220 was more like the DC 9 or MD 80 with its 5 abreast seating but only quieter
What about the all important cost and fuel consumption comparison? I think the E2 wins in this department. I love smaller aircraft and 2x2 configuration is a winner.
Speaking of regional jets, is the Superjet 100 still a thing? I've read that Russia's UAC sold the program to a UAE company, *and* that they're working on a "sanctions-proof" version without Western components.
Either way, Russian airlines will need *something* in this class, and the A220/E2/MAX 7 are no longer available to them. Even the COMAC ARJ21 is out because it has so many Western components.
Time for a Tu-134 Neo or Yak-40 MAX, perhaps?
80% Load factor means that a 5 abreast aircraft would have all the middle seats empty. Do you prefer 2 seats with someone on your side or 3 seats without someone in the middle? I worked for Embraer and Bombardier... there are arguments for everything and anything. Yet, airline decisions are made on cost per seat, available delivery slots, financing and pricing (commonality if there is an existing fleet)... the rest is the rest as airplanes are just commodities designed to generate huge headaches...
I think Porter's gone up to a hundred orders since video publishing.
Nothing is mentioned about the prices...
My opinion Embraer is a Rolex of aircraft
E2
Embraer, synonymous with competence and technology
You compared aircraft's of different categories.
The a220 is one of my favorites to fly in. Truly beautiful plane
The runway length discussion is flawed. Carriers have been using the A220 to service much shorter runways by capping loads. The A220 can service sub-5,000' runways easily by capping the passenger counts to the 140 passenger range. So it really is an extremely versatile jet, which is why jetblue will use them to replace the E190 servicing very short runways like EYW, MVY, ACK, etc.
You do realise that jetblues will also fly the e2s
tetap semangat mister ❤❤❤
Accept Jesus Christ as your Lord and Savior and allow Him to change your life :)
The A220 is simply stunning!
How come the 737-700 or A319ceo were never called regional jets? The A220-300 has the same passenger capacity and more range than both of them!
Cause the A220 is not a regional jet. Not really.
IF you have to truly choose so-called "regional" planes with their shortest runways and stretches, Embraer aircraft seem to be the best choices
bela merda a embraer
this comparison was weak, it didn't talk about fuel consumption, speed, noise both on takeoff and flying and especially for those who have flown both planes, do you think which one is better?
In this aspect who you cited, the E2 are better.
talk about nigerian aviation please 🙏🏻🙏🏻
Air Peace is an E2 customer.
Embraer 👍👏👏👏👏
very intresting
I think Airbus was really lucky to get the A220 project from Bombardier
For the narrow body, embraer E2 is the most efficient aircraft, and in the future, embraer will introduce embraer 195e2 LR to match 3000nmi range.
For Airbus, a220 is a big win when they took it from bombardier. They could use them to replace all a320 family as a220-900Lr or even a221LR in the long term.
For Boeing, bring back 717 and make the larger version such as 717-300.
I think Boeing regrets shutting down the 717 and 757 programs (or not creating replacements when they had the chance).
Though the 717 lives on, sort of, as the Chinese COMAC ARJ21.
The 717 was a renewed version of the dc-90, if Boeing wanted to re-enter the small jets market, they would definetelly need to develop a clean sheet design to be able to meet modern expectations
@@fredmdea785 You underestimate just how long Boeing can drag out using an old design. The 737 is almost as old as the DC-9.
strange a canadian airline preferring the brazilian plane over their domestically produced one
porter? delta also preferres european planes over boeing
As stated on Porter's website, here is the answer - Given the A220 family's popularity, Airbus has amassed a massive backlog of nearly 600 aircraft, significantly delaying deliveries. The E2's backlog is currently only around 200, meaning customers could likely get their planes much faster.
I prefer flying in an E170 aircraft fitted with a turbo-prop engine. I frequently fly commercial which takes just 1hr: 10mins into low capacity airports in my country, so both A220 and E190 E2 will not do. Embraer should consider building one.
The Brazilian manufacturer Desaer has its project that will be a replacement for the Bandeirante. Certainly, if it is cost-effective, it could be widely used for flights between interior cities.
I like the E195 E2 more
A220: seats more people and fly farther none stop, E2 land at smaller airport, and fly faster and quieter.
I'm Team A220 all day long lol 💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯
this like comparing the 787 to the A350 .
They're not direct competitors
I prefer E195-E2
Why are you talking about regional jets on Long haul channel.
Embraer E2
Embraer is more cost efficient and will save more money for closer routes. A220 will fly you very far and with more seats for passengers
Sorry, but A220 is wide better than the E195
Most of the people and stats seem to think otherwise
It's rather pathetic that Boeing chose to file an injunction, instead of designing a plane to compete with the 220. I mean I understand that they would have been years behind design wise, but still. It's pathetic
Boeing was afraid they will lose out to Delta with their Boeing 737-Max 7 offering vs the Bombardier CS-300 so played the "they are dumping unfairly" card. End result, Airbus bought off Bombardier for a $1 or something ridiculous since Bombardier ran out of money to sustain the program. How Bombardier mismanaged the program is a different story though.
They had a plane that could compete with it until they stopped production on it back in the early 2000's, that plane is the 717.
The biggest winner in this was Delta buying 100 A220s at or below cost!
@@winhtin3420 Bombardier price dumped the c-series from $30 million production cost to $20 million. So, there are laws that prevent that.
Brazil is Pop 🇧🇷♥️
Viva Santos Dumont 🇧🇷
As you pointed out, if used correctly, each aircraft has its merits. However, from a passenger perspective, I've NEVER been a fan of Embraer RJ's.
