Embraer 190

[magicembraers]

So we've seen the A318 get in to EGLC...but is the embraer 190 going to be approved for london city? the E170 can, so why not the E190?

[Slavedriver]

rumour or news?

The E170 needs to be specified from new for EGLC operations, I think it needs extra spoilers at the back.

E170 has a full load max range of about 500nm from EGLC so the E190 (with engines that aren't a lot bigger than the 170s) will struggle to get any worthwhile range from EGLC.

And a mere detail - the 170 isn't yet approved for either steep approaches or for LCY, so it's not there yet. 190 would most likely be awful - remember the A318 has much more powerful engines and a much bigger wing than the 190.

E170 did the trials (last year ?), I saw it on the ramp at LCY. What has been the issue since ? Some technical problem or did the interest go away ?

AFAIK, it wa a purchase option for SWISS, they cancelled the order. I dont know of anyone else who has requested the option.
