Note: The Embraer 195 is a commercial regional jet chartered in group configuration. It is not a VIP aircraft. The hourly rate is not the total trip cost. Final pricing includes landing and handling fees, crew, overflight permits, and taxes. Contact Hogani Jets for an accurate all-in quote.

Charter of an Embraer 195 for group travel starts at $12,000 to $18,000 per flight hour. Embraer introduced the E195 in 2006 on the E-Jet regional platform. It carries 120 to 146 passengers across a 2,300 nm range at 470 knots. The 92.4-foot cabin measures 9.0 feet wide and 6.6 feet tall, with 748 cubic feet of baggage. Two GE CF34-10E engines power the aircraft to a 41,000-foot ceiling at 3,500 fpm climb. Cabin pressurization holds an 8,000-foot equivalent altitude at cruise. Hogani Jets coordinates Embraer 195 group charters through licensed operators.

The Embraer 195 is a regional jet available for full group charter. With 120 to 146 seats, it suits sports teams, large corporate groups, and organizational travel. At $12,000 to $18,000/hr, it costs significantly less than the Airbus A320 or Boeing 737 for comparable passenger loads on routes under 2,300 nm.

The 2,300 nm range covers most US domestic routes and short international sectors. The 3,500 fpm climb rate is the highest among the aircraft compared. Note that the E195 is not a VIP aircraft: seating is commercial configuration, not individual completion, and the 8,000-foot cabin pressurization is standard commercial practice rather than the 6,000-foot equivalent used in VIP airliners.

The Embraer 195 is the largest variant in the Embraer E-Jet family. Two GE CF34-10E turbofan engines produce the 3,500 fpm climb rate, the highest among the aircraft compared. The 115,280-pound MTOW is the lowest among the aircraft compared, enabling access to a broad range of airports including regional facilities.

The Embraer 195 is a regional jet introduced in 2006 on the E-Jet commercial platform. It carries 120 to 146 passengers in commercial seating across a 2,300 nm range at 470 knots. Two GE CF34-10E engines power the aircraft to a 41,000-foot service ceiling. MTOW is 115,280 pounds and climb rate is 3,500 fpm.

The Embraer 195 is a commercial regional jet purpose-built for groups of 120 to 146 passengers. Four factors make it a practical choice for group charters on shorter routes.

Cost per seat: At $12,000 to $18,000/hr for 120 to 146 seats, the cost per passenger is lower than any VIP airliner in the fleet. A 2-hour flight at $15,000/hr average with 140 passengers costs approximately $214 per person. The Airbus A320 and Boeing 737 at $22,000 to $35,000/hr cost $314 to $500 per person for the same seat count.

Airport access: The 115,280-pound MTOW gives the E195 the broadest airport access among the aircraft compared. Many regional airports that cannot accommodate the A320 or Boeing 737 can handle the E195. This expands routing options for point-to-point group travel.

Climb performance: The 3,500 fpm climb rate is the highest among the aircraft compared. The E195 reaches cruise altitude faster than the other aircraft compared, minimizing block times on shorter sectors where climb represents a larger proportion of total flight time.

Seating comfort: The E195 uses a 2+2 seating arrangement (two seats per side) versus the A320 and Boeing 737's 3+3 layout. Each passenger has more seat width and direct aisle access. For groups where per-seat comfort matters on shorter routes, this is a meaningful advantage.

The Embraer 195 entered service in 2006 as the largest variant in the E-Jet family. Two GE CF34-10E engines produce a 3,500 fpm climb rate and 2,300 nm range. The 2+2 seating configuration gives each passenger direct aisle access. MTOW is 115,280 pounds, the lowest among the aircraft compared.

At $12,000 to $18,000/hr, the E195 is significantly cheaper than the Airbus A320 ($22,000-$35,000/hr) and Boeing 737 ($22,000-$35,000/hr) for group charter. The trade is range (2,300 nm vs 3,300 nm for A320) and passenger capacity (120-146 vs 150-180).

For group missions under 2,300 nm where cost efficiency matters, the E195 delivers at $10,000 to $17,000/hr less than the A320 or Boeing 737. The wider per-seat format in 2+2 configuration compensates for the narrower overall cabin. For missions over 2,300 nm or groups above 146, the A320 or Boeing 737 are the correct choice.

The Embraer 195 cabin is 92.4 feet long, 9.0 feet wide, and 6.6 feet tall. Seating is in commercial airline configuration with 120 to 146 seats in a 2+2 layout. This is not a VIP aircraft and the interior is commercial airline standard, not individual completion. Each passenger has direct aisle access in the 2+2 format.

  • Seating: 2+2 layout across the 9.0-foot cabin; each row has two seats per side with a central aisle.
  • Overhead bins: Standard commercial overhead bin configuration; limited compared to widebody aircraft.
  • Galley: Forward and aft galleys; support standard beverage and snack service.
  • Lavatories: Forward and aft lavatories; standard commercial configuration.
  • 748 cubic feet of baggage: Standard commercial checked baggage capacity in the lower hold.
  • Cabin height: 6.6 feet at the center of the cabin; limited clearance for tall passengers.

The Embraer 195 cabin is 92.4 feet long, 9.0 feet wide, and 6.6 feet tall in commercial airline configuration. Cabin pressurization holds an 8,000-foot equivalent altitude at cruise, which is standard commercial practice. The aircraft carries 120 to 146 passengers in 2+2 commercial seating with 748 cubic feet of baggage. This is a commercial regional jet, not a VIP completion aircraft.

The 2+2 seating layout gives each passenger more seat width and direct aisle access than the 3+3 layout used on the Airbus A320 and Boeing 737. For groups where seat comfort and quick exit are priorities on shorter routes, this configuration has practical advantages over wider aircraft with higher seat density.

The 2,300 nm range covers most US domestic routes. Transcontinental US routes (New York to Los Angeles at ~2,450 nm) are marginally outside range. Most hub-to-hub US routes and Caribbean destinations are within nonstop reach.

How many passengers does the Embraer 195 carry?

The Embraer 195 carries 120 to 146 passengers in commercial seating configuration. The 2+2 layout gives each passenger direct aisle access. This makes it suited for sports teams (approximately 60 to 80 players and staff), large corporate groups, and organizational travel.

Is the Embraer 195 a VIP aircraft?

No. The Embraer 195 is a commercial regional jet available for group charter. It is not a VIP aircraft and the interior is commercial airline configuration, not individual VIP completion. For VIP charter on the Embraer platform with up to 19 passengers, the Embraer Lineage 1000E is the appropriate choice.

What is the range of the Embraer 195?

The Embraer 195 has a published range of 2,300 nautical miles. This covers most US domestic routes including New York to Miami (1,280 nm), New York to Dallas (1,575 nm), and New York to Denver (1,770 nm). New York to Los Angeles (2,450 nm) is marginally outside range.

Why is the Embraer 195 a good aircraft for sports teams?

The E195 seats 120 to 146 passengers in a 2+2 layout with direct aisle access per seat. The 748 cu ft hold carries full equipment bags. At $12,000 to $18,000/hr, it is the lowest-cost option for groups this size.

Why does the Embraer 195 have such a fast climb rate?

The 3,500 fpm climb rate reflects the combination of powerful GE CF34-10E engines and the relatively light 115,280-pound MTOW. This is the highest climb rate among the aircraft compared. On shorter routes where climb represents a large portion of total flight time, the E195 reaches cruise altitude faster than larger aircraft.

How does the E195 compare to chartering an Airbus A320?

The A320 carries 150-180 passengers, has 1,000 nm more range (3,300 vs 2,300 nm), a wider 12.1-foot cabin, and costs $22,000 to $35,000/hr. The E195 carries 120-146 passengers with a 2+2 seating layout and costs $12,000 to $18,000/hr. For groups under 146 passengers on routes under 2,300 nm, the E195 is the lower-cost option.

Is Embraer 195 ideal for corporate group travel?

The E195 carries up to 146 employees on a private aircraft without hub connections. The 3,500 fpm climb minimizes block time on shorter sectors. At $12,000 to $18,000/hr, it costs less than the A320 or Boeing 737.

Is Hogani Jets a direct air carrier?

No. Hogani Jets is an air charter broker and does not own or operate aircraft. All Embraer 195 group charters are facilitated through FAA Part 135 certificated direct air carriers holding full operational and regulatory control.
