About this aircraft

The ERJ-135ER is the extended-range ERJ-135—more fuel for longer regional sectors while keeping the small ERJ fuselage and cabin cross-section.

In executive use it supports longer shuttle legs than standard ER models. Cabin completions vary widely by operator, from dense shuttle seating to softer VIP layouts suited to corporate leadership teams. The ER label is about stage length, not cabin width.

Choose ER when stage length stretches beyond basic ERJ-135 missions but you still want the small-ERJ footprint.
