The 76-seat E175s are configured with 12 seats in business class and 64 seats in economy class.
Air Canada was Embraer’s launch customer for the E175. The Canadian flag carrier received the first of 15 E175s in 2005.
The E175 fleet will serve cities in Central and Eastern Canada, and fly transborder routes to/from cities in the Northeast US.
