Embraer E190-E2: The work of painting plane with bite

The Brazilian aircraft manufacturer Embraer is certainly turning heads with the paint job of one of his new E190-E2.

The jet is nicknamed the "Shark Profit Hunter", and we understand why. It appears at various air shows around the world while Embraer prepares the market for the plane.

The E190-E2 removes the dreaded headquarters in a 2-2 configuration and can carry up to 150 passengers.

Windows and luggage chests are also bigger to give a "wider cabin feel," said Rodrigo Silva e Souza, vice president of marketing at Embraer Commercial Aviation, CNN Travel. "The goal is to preserve the passenger's personal space," he added.

The aircraft is one of the most fuel-efficient single aisle aircraft on the market and consumes 17% less fuel than its predecessor, the E190. Its main rival is the new Airbus A220 aircraft.

An airline has already started flying this plane – the Norwegian company Widerøe has three in service since April. AerCap, an aircraft leasing company, on order 23, and airlines from countries like Switzerland, the United States and China are also lining up.
