Embraer’s E190-E2 Shows off in South Korea

Embraer’s E190-E2 conducted a demonstration flight in South Korea flying from Seoul to Pohang and back. The E190-E2 conducted a simulated short runway landing at Pohang Airport over a runway distance of 1,066 metres. This outstanding short runway performance capability uniquely positions the E190-E2 as the only narrowbody aircraft that can access a 1,200 metre runway, rain or shine.

The Korean government and the country’s Ministry of Land, Infrastructure and Transportation (MOLIT) share a vision to strengthen provincial connectivity and the Embraer E190-E2 commercial jet has the technical capabilities to support this intracountry connectivity objective: the range to serve routes of up to seven hours, along with the proven capability of short runway performance – enabling jet aircraft access to airports such as Ulleungdo Island.
