Airnorth Embraer E170
The E170 is Airnorth's mid-range regional jet, carrying 76 passengers in a 2-2 all-economy layout. It handles busier routes like Darwin-Alice Springs, Darwin-Townsville, and the international Dili service. The 2-2 configuration means no middle seats -- every passenger gets a window or aisle. Rear-mounted engines make the forward cabin quieter, and the jet-powered performance gives a smoother, faster ride than Airnorth's turboprops.
Best Seats on the Airnorth E170
Row 1 offers extra legroom at the bulkhead. Exit row window seats have additional space and are worth targeting. Front rows (1-4) are the quietest section and deplane fastest. The 2-2 layout means seat type (window vs aisle) is the only real decision. Window seats on the left side often provide better views on approach to Darwin and coastal Top End airports.
Seats to Avoid
The last three rows are closest to the rear-mounted engines and the lavatory. Avoid rows 17-19 if noise or lavatory traffic bother you. The rear section gets congested during deplaning on a full 76-seat aircraft. Mid-cabin rows are a reasonable compromise between noise and deplaning speed.
