Who flies the Embraer E170
Two questions in one table. Airframes is what each carrier reported owning in its US DOT fleet filing; seats flown is how much of the type it actually operated. They can rank differently, and the gap is the interesting part.
| Operator | ||||
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Envoy AirMQ | 44 | 5.6M | 89.5% | 15.9 yr |
| Republic AirwaysYX | 62 | 570K | 9.0% | 21.1 yr |
| SkyWest AirlinesOO | 1 | 42.9K | 0.7% | 0.4 yr |
Airframes are the latest Form 41 filing; seats flown and share are US DOT T-100 for the type's most-flown operators — a dash means a carrier isn't among them (a freighter operator, or one that flies fewer).
How old is the US Embraer E170 fleet?
Age is measured from each airframe's delivery date — the FAA airworthiness date where available, otherwise the manufacturer's. Bars share a fixed scale across every fleet page, so two carriers can be compared directly.
