Where are the oxygen masks located in the EJet passenger cabin?

The oxygen masks in the EJet passenger cabin are designed to be readily available for use in case of a sudden loss of cabin pressure. They are strategically located above each seat row in the overhead bins. This placement ensures that they are easily accessible to passengers during an emergency situation, allowing for rapid deployment when needed.

In contrast, the other locations mentioned do not provide the same immediate access that is critical in emergencies. For example, having them underneath each seat could hinder quick retrieval during a stressful situation or when passengers are attempting to exit the aircraft. Storing them in the cockpit limits accessibility only to the flight crew, which is not suitable for passenger use. Keeping them at the front of the aircraft would also make them less accessible to those seated further back, potentially causing delays in usage during an urgent need. Therefore, their position above the seat rows balances safety with accessibility, ensuring a higher likelihood of quick access in emergencies.
