What the record shows
The Embraer 170 is the smallest member of the first generation E-Jet family and has recorded no fatal accidents and no hull losses in more than twenty years of airline service. Its logged occurrences are runway excursions, ground collisions and hard landings, none of which destroyed an aircraft. Production ended after 191 were built, and most survivors now fly short regional routes in the United States and Japan.
