Profit Hunter Captivates Attention @ Wings India 2020

Brazil manufacturer, Embraer's 'King of Skies' also managed to become the king in all eyes as the aircraft enthralled the maximum visitors who gathered to get a glimpse of the aircraft displayed at the Wings India 2020 in Hyderabad. Named as the 'Profit Hunter', this E-195 E2 has been designed to magnify profit, explained Cesar Pereira, Vice President Asia Pacific, Embraer Commercial Aviation during an interaction with SP's ShowNews.

Speaking about the design of the aircraft, Pereira said, "E2 was our guidance for the design but our aim was not to just alter the engine and get done with it. We redesigned the entire aircraft with a better engine, more and comfortable seats, etc. to have the most efficient design for a singleaisle aircraft."

The aircraft gets its name from the concept it showcases, added Pereira. "The idea was to maximize the revenue but at the same time reduce the cost, and hence enhance the profit," he said. With the marvel engineering capabilities that Embraer has, this aircraft has been built with the lowest operating cost in the country in the new generation jets.

Further talking about India, Pereira added that it actually is the right market for this aircraft. "In 2019 in India, 52 per cent of flights carried between 90 and 150 passengers. However, here either there are 70 seaters or too large aircrafts. An aircraft like Profit Hunter, which is 146 seater is the appropriate one for this market. This is a great opportunity which is untapped till now."

This is probably the reason that Embraer is very excited on displaying this state-of-the-art, highly comfortable aircraft at Wings India to seek an opportunity for more visibility for a wider audience of suppliers, passengers, media, airlines, etc.
