It’s a big day for JetBlue, as the airline has retired its Embraer E190 fleet. Not only does this mark the end of the plane at JetBlue, but it’s also the end of regularly scheduled passenger service with this jet on US airlines.
For context, JetBlue’s fleet at one time consisted of up to 63 Embraer E190s. The airline took delivery of these planes between 2005 and 2013, and started retiring them in 2022. The airline was actually the launch customer for the plane.
JetBlue’s Embraer E190s were in a 100-seat configuration, and were quite comfortable, thanks to the 2-2 layout, with 25 rows of seats. As with all other JetBlue planes, the Embraer aircraft also had seat back entertainment and free Wi-Fi.
A great solo travel tip spotted this week on One Mile at a Time.
