Embraer 195, newest and largest member of

ideal aircraft for the British low-fare carrier,
which has evolved away from its Regional airline
roots yet still maintains a close kinship in
many respects, including operating the
world's largest fleet of Q400 turboprops
and connecting many of the UK's
smallest cities.
