Embraer participates in the inaugural Bali Airshow

Embraer will showcase its innovative aircraft and solutions from its commercial aviation, defense and executive jets portfolio at the upcoming Bali Airshow, which takes place at the Ngurah Rai International Airport, September 18-21. Scale models of Embraer’s latest aircraft, such as the E2 family of small narrowbody jets and the multi-mission military airlift C-390 Millennium will be on display at Embraer’s booth at B11, Hall B. 

Embraer aircraft are present in Indonesia – the Indonesian Air Force operates a fleet of A-29 Super Tucanos[i] and there is a sizeable fleet of Embraer business jets operating in the country. PT Wira Jasa Angkasa is Embraer Executive Jets’ appointed authorized service center in Indonesia. The E2 family of small narrowbody jets is comprised of the E190-E2 and the E195-E2, seating up to 114 and 146 passengers, respectively. The E2 family is both the quietest and most fuel efficient single-aisle aircraft family currently in production. In addition to its class-leading economics and sustainability credentials, the E2 family offers a flying endurance of more than six hours to enable airlines the operational flexibility to connect new city pairs across the region, both near and far. A prime example of this growing connectivity is happening in Indonesia where Scoot, a subsidiary of Singapore Airlines, will commence flights on 28 September 2024 between Singapore and Kertajati International Airport (KJT) using Embraer E190-E2 aircraft.

The C-390 can carry more payload (26 tons) compared to other medium-sized military transport aircraft and flies faster (470 knots) and farther, being capable of performing a wide range of missions such as transporting and dropping cargo and troops, medical evacuation, search and rescue, firefighting, and humanitarian missions, operating on temporary or unpaved runways. The aircraft configured with air-to-air refueling equipment, with the designation KC-390, can operate both as a tanker and as a receiver, in this case also by receiving fuel from another KC-390 using pods installed under the wings.

The current fleet of C-390 in operation with the Brazilian Air Force and Portuguese Air Force has accumulated more than 14,000 flight hours, with mission capable rate of 93% and mission completion rates above 99%, demonstrating exceptional productivity in the category.
