The Embraer E-Jet E2 family is a family of three narrow-body medium-range twin-engine jet airliners developed by Brazilian aerospace company Embraer, replacing the predecessor Embraer E-Jet family. The three variants share the same fuselage cross sections with different lengths and three different new wings, Pratt & Whitney PW1000G geared turbofans in two sizes, fly-by-wire controls with new avionics, and an updated cabin with 40% enlarged baggage bins. Announced improvements per seat are 16 to 24% lower fuel burn and 15–25% lower maintenance cost.

The program was launched at the Paris Air Show in 2013. The first variant, the E190-E2 took its first flight on May 23rd, 2016. It is expected to enter service with Widerøe on April 24th, 2018.
