India’s Directorate General of Civil Aviation granted Type Certification to Embraer’s E-Jets family on 7 July 2026, enabling commercial operations under UDAN 2.0. The certification covers the E190, E195, and next-generation E195-E2, the world’s quietest and most fuel-efficient small narrowbody aircraft. This mandatory airworthiness approval allows operators to deploy these aircraft on regional routes too small for large narrowbodies yet beyond turboprop range. The E195-E2 delivers significantly lower fuel burn and operating costs while featuring a modern two-by-two cabin layout without middle seats. With over 1,900 E-Jets delivered globally and 80 airlines operating them, the certification strengthens Embraer’s footprint in India’s fastest-growing aviation market and supports Adani-Embraer’s planned Final Assembly Line for the E175.
