Embraer 175
Designed for short to mid-range flights, the Embraer 175 features 76 comfortable, wide seats; with no middle seats, every passenger has either a window or aisle seat. The E175 windows are the largest in Alaska's fleet; the glass area of the windows (185 sq.in) is larger than Boeing 787 windows (175 sq.in). Our E175s are equipped with new wingtips that help improve fuel efficiency to reduce CO2 emissions by 6.4%. Also access inflight wifi and the Alaska Beyond Entertainment hub. Fun fact: the E175 maximum takeoff weight is equivalent to approximately 10,000 Copper River salmon.

The Embraer E-Jet family is a series of narrow-body short- to medium-range twin-engine jet airliners, carrying 66 to 124 passengers commercially, manufactured by Brazilian aerospace manufacturer Embraer. The aircraft family was first introduced at the Paris Air Show in 1999 and entered production in 2002. The series has been a commercial success primarily due to its ability to efficiently serve lower-demand routes while offering many of the same amenities and features of larger jets. The aircraft is used by mainline and regional airlines around the world but has proven particularly popular with regional airlines in the United States.

The E175 is a slightly stretched version of the E170 and first entered revenue service in July 2005.[16] The E175 typically seats around 78 passengers in a typical single class configuration, 76 in a dual-class configuration, and up to 88 in a high density configuration. Like the E170, It is powered with General Electric CF34-8E engines of 14,200 pounds (62.28 kN) of thrust each. It competes with the Bombardier CRJ900 in the market segment previously occupied by the earlier BAe 146 and Fokker 70.

In late 2017, Embraer announced the E175SC (special configuration), limited to 70 seats like the E170 to take advantage of the E175 performance improvements, but still comply with US airline scope clauses limiting operators to 70 seats. Embraer is marketing the E175SC as a replacement for the older 70-seat Bombardier CRJ700 with better efficiency and a larger first class.[40]

In 2018, a new E175 has a value of $27 million, projected to fall to $3-8 million 13 years later due to their concentration in the US with more than 450 in service within 560, with Republic and SkyWest operating over 120 each, Compass 55 and Envoy Air 45, after the similar experience with the CRJ200 and ERJ 145 demonstrates the limited remarketing opportunities.[41]
