A member of the first generation Embraer E-Jet family, the Embraer E190 is a four-abreast, narrow-body, short to medium range twin-engine jet airliner produced by Embraer S.A., a Brazilian aerospace manufacturer headquartered at São José dos Campos, São Paulo, Brazil.

The E190 is a stretched version of the original Embraer E170 and Embraer E175 variants, and first entered revenue service in January 2006. The E190 (and a 2nd succeeding stretch version, the Embraer E195) featured a newer larger wing, and upgraded General Electric CF34-10E turbofan engines. The E190 was designed to compete against or replace several rival aircraft, among them the Bombardier CRJ-900 and CRJ1000, the Comac 909 (aka the Comac ARJ21), the Fokker 70 and Fokker 100, and the Sukhoi Superjet 100.

The Embraer E190 was originally made available only as a passenger aircraft, but the type now includes a certified freight version, known as the Embraer E190F. The Embraer E195 was developed as a stretch variant of the E190 as well. Embraer also marketed a dedicated business jet variant of the E190, known as the Embraer Lineage 1000, which ultimately netted 28 orders.

The final Embraer E190 rolled off the assembly line at São José dos Campos in September 2020, concluding a fairly successful production run of 568 aircraft. The original E190 was replaced by the newer generation Embraer E190-E2.
