Embraer E170 vs L-410 NG: the key differences
- The Embraer E170 delivers 163% more range (Embraer E170: 2,100 nm; L-410 NG: 800 nm).
- The Embraer E170 delivers 103% more cruise speed (Embraer E170: 447 kt; L-410 NG: 220 kt).
- The Embraer E170 delivers 321% more passenger capacity (Embraer E170: 80 seats; L-410 NG: 19 seats).
- The L-410 NG is the newer design (introduced 2018 versus 2004 for the Embraer E170), a gap of 14 years that usually shows up in avionics, cabin systems and fuel burn.
- The Embraer E170 is the larger aircraft by maximum takeoff weight (82,012 lbs versus 15,873 lbs), which typically buys more cabin and payload at the cost of higher trip economics.
Which mission suits which aircraft
The Embraer E170 is the stronger fit for transcontinental missions — its 2,100 nm of range removes fuel stops on those legs. The L-410 NG, at 800 nm, is better matched to short-haul and regional hops, where lower trip cost counts for more than outright reach. If most of your flying sits inside the L-410 NG's range, the Embraer E170's extra capability is range you pay to carry but rarely use.
Which should you choose?
On published specifications the Embraer E170 leads on both range and cabin capacity, so it suits operators who want maximum mission flexibility from a single airframe. The L-410 NG can still be the smarter buy on acquisition cost, operating economics, runway performance, or current availability — the factors that rarely show up in a spec sheet. Our acquisition advisory team can model both against your actual mission profile before you commit.
