Embraer’s incremental approach to its product placement endeavors appears to have served it well, not only in the number of orders its E-Jet line of narrowbody jets has collected over the years, but also in the company’s ability to support the residual values of the airplanes already in service. Now as it prepares its new E2 line for entry into service starting in the first half of 2018, Embraer thinks it has positioned itself for a long production run without satiating the market’s appetite for the current line of E-Jets.
