What the record shows
The Embraer 195 is the stretched first generation E-Jet and has never had a fatal accident. One aircraft has been written off: an Air Serbia service operated by Marathon Airlines that overran the runway on takeoff from Belgrade in February 2024, struck ground installations and returned to land, with no injuries among the 111 people on board. Only 172 were built, so this variant has the smallest exposure base in the family and the widest statistical uncertainty.
Engine programme: Labelled estimate. 172 delivered 2006 to 2016 (Wikipedia orders and deliveries table, as of Jun 2025; programme complete). Roughly 110 active, mostly at Azul, Helvetic, Air Dolomiti, Marathon and LOT, after the collapse of Flybe and Air Europa's switch to Boeing. Trapezoid over the fleet curve: 2006-2009 avg 35 x 4yr = 140; 2010-2013 avg 105 x 4yr = 420; 2014-2016 avg 155 x 3yr = 465; 2017-2019 av EXCLUSIONS: None. No E195 event falls under the deliberate-action or external-attack exclusion, and there are no fatal accidents to exclude.
