In what is perhaps the Brazilian airframer's strongest indication yet that it may bring to market a clean-sheet competitor to Bombardier's P&W geared turbofan-powered CSeries, Embraer executive vice president airline market Mauro Kern says that Embraer is studying "some possible work with a little bigger [aircraft] than the current 195, not only in terms of using the current platform, but also in terms of actually a new design".

Industry sources say that Delta Air Lines is interested in studying a 130- to 140-seat airliner that could offer equivalent per seat operating economics to its larger mainline narrowbodies, and has spoken to Embraer about the possibilities. A separate source says Embraer and Delta held talks as early as last year.
