Embraer shows Brazil's aviation flair

Embraer aircraft, a Brazilian owned company is ready to unleash its newest commercial jet, the Embraer 190. This new plane can sit up to 110 people. Though Boeing and Airbus have virtually dominated the jumbo jets, Embraer is specializing in the small to medium sized jets. This little nitch allows them to compete with the major airlines and still make a profit. It has currently made 177 orders to airlines around the world. With this new nitch fairly untapped, how will this affect the airline industries? Will other smaller airplane produces spring up?

I do think that other smaller airplane producers spring up because Embraer is creating a greater demand for them than before. The company already has a large amount of orders from around the world. There is defiantly going to be more suppliers because it isn't a market that favors monopolies.

I think that airlines will see a way to use these planes in medium-short distance trips. There is a need since that they are placing orders for the planes. If the demand continues to increase then i can see other compianes such as Boeing making an attempt at these planes to help tap into that market.

With Embraer being able to get going it will definatly get other airplane producers to create new designs. With more competition it means possible better designs and may help the airline industry in which has been not doing so well lately.
