Exploring the E190-E2 shark livery from Mumbai to Delhi

All photos on the link

I have been a fan of the Regional Jets since the time I first studied them for the Indian market in 2011. Since then I have tracked this market, not just in India but the entire APAC region and sometimes keeping tab of the market in EU for the way airlines deploy the regional jets. My article on Regional Jets & India has been one of the most read and searched articles. On this backdrop, in late February, when I was invited to fly from Mumbai to Delhi on the all new Embraer E190-E2, I did not bat an eyelid before accepting it.

Embraer announced the E2 program in 2013 at the Paris Air Show and got the E190-E2 certified in 2018. However, like its competitor the A220 (erstwhile C-series), Embraer has also found it difficult to make in-roads in the market and APAC has been a difficult nut to crack for both. As of today, the type is in operation with 2 airlines – Norway’s Widerøe and Kazakhstan’s Air Astana.

The Embraer team kept me well informed about the timings, details, documentation and everything, for the ferry from Mumbai to Delhi. A week to departure, I kept tracking the aircraft PR-ZGQ, which had transited through Ahmedabad sometime last year on its way to Kathmandu.

Cut to the day of departure, I reached the designated place ( General Aviation Terminal – CSIA) at scheduled time to be greeted by Team Embraer from Asia Pacific to talk about the demo tour, the popularity of this particular aircraft, the response of airlines, economics of the plane, how it can make a difference and a lot more.

Soon it was time to be bussed to the aircraft, which was parked at Terminal 2 having arrived from Bengaluru early in the morning. The bus took the road adjacent to Apron L at Mumbai, where lie the grounded planes of Jet Airways.

Embraer has been painting their aircraft with animal themes. One of the E190-E2 was painted with Tiger face earlier while the E195-E2 was painted with an Eagle. PR-ZGQ – the aircraft currently doing the world demo tour is painted with the shark. The company calls the aircraft “Profit Hunter” and this is proudly written on the fuselage.

Copy-pasted from my personal email to Ameya Sir:

A complete drool-worthy TR if there was one of late, Sir!
You MUST post this on the web and WhatsApp fora, in addition to
airliners.net, Sir...this is one of a kind.
I haven't read such a detailed TR which would have som much of technical
content, and yet be fit enough for an uninitiated aviation enthusiast like
me. And what lovely pictures! I wonder why the A220/C-series is even listed as a competitor, given that they are two entirely separate aircraft, one with 2-2 and the other with 3-2, with the capacities being comparable, and the Economics well...hmm. The detailed location descriptions completely fit your profile: the things we have come to love about you. The details about the plane's structures, the seats, the cockpit descriptions, the food, the galley, the windows, and...the T1 pic beside a sad CR2 of Zoom Air.
Delightful!

Thank you so much ! Only if 2-2 v/s 3-2 can make listing different we will have a new segment for almost every aircraft type ! Though the 3-3-3 or 3-4-3 is becoming the new standard
