ERJ-170

1) Do all Embraer 170 have their own boarding stairs or is it optional?

Dunno. But I’ve flown on two Alitalia ERJ-170s and one United Express ERJ-170, and on each flight a set of ground steps or a jetway was used, so I presume neither AZ nor UA have gone for air-stairs even if they’re an option.

I think it’s beautiful a/c.

I have a couple of questions about it:

1) Do all Embraer 170 have their own boarding stairs or is it optional?
2) I’ve never seen a pic of the holds, I presume it has a fwd and rear hold, isn’t it?
3) When does Finnair receives its 170?

Thanks 😉

Have to agree, they are a nice looking aircraft. The Alitalia flight this morning from BHX used one (EI-DFJ)

Agreed with Andy, if you are lucky you could see them anywhere, but there are no daily regular services with them to the UK.

Hey, the one in that first picture is the actual one I flew IAD-DFW on – N632RW! Not only do they look smart, but they’re nice to fly in too – far nicerly, certainly, than a CRJ700 which has a similar capacity.

PS: I don’t think anywhere in the UK sees ERJ-170s regularly at present – AZ don’t use them to MAN anymore, and in BHX they are irregular as AZ seems to use 145s more often now. LOT used their 170s into MAN (think they’re on 145s again too at the moment though?), and LOT also use them into LHR sometimes but not every day I believe. Finnair -170s are due to go onto MAN later this year.

I think its Chaquatua (spelling) Airlines??? Not sure though. 😉

Thanks for that, and I don’t know how to spell it either. I knew it wasn’t the Skywest branch, as that is the one that I frequently use on the west coast. In regards to the ERJ-170, I have seen LOT’s lot at AMS a year ago.

Hey, that is neat! I didn’t even know United Express was taking delivery of those. I wonder which branch of UX owns them.

I think its nicknamed ‘the Womble’ anyway

I dont think anyone flies the regulary to any London airport. Youll have to got to BHX or MAN to catch Alitalia. LOT fly them to DUB 11 times a week now so an oppurtunity to see on at a respectable hour.
They really are a nice looking aircraft I think someone on here calls it ”The Womble”
