ERJ 135 VIP

An ERJ 135 with a VIP conversion suits a larger party travelling together on regional routes. Seating depends on the conversion; it should not be confused with the longer-range Legacy 600.

The model and its relatives

ERJ 135 VIP

Embraer shortened its ERJ 145 regional jet to create the 37-seat ERJ 135, which entered service in 1999. Private and corporate conversions replace the airline rows with a less dense cabin.

Model historyWhere it began and how it evolved

The ERJ family was designed for regional airlines. Its smaller 135 member offered a useful starting point for corporate and group transport: the airliner cabin could be refitted with fewer seats and more personal space. Such conversions differ from Embraer’s factory-developed Legacy business jets, particularly in fuel capacity and range.

A VIP conversion changes the accommodation, but does not automatically add the fuel system of a Legacy. Check the actual seats, baggage allocation and nonstop range for each aircraft.

Before you choose

Can I stand upright in the cabin?

A person 180 cm tall can stand at the highest part of the cabin. Space narrows towards the sides. Maximum cabin height: 1.82 m.

Will my aircraft have this exact interior?

Not necessarily. These photographs and the layout illustrate the model. We check the actual interior, seats and equipment when preparing your proposal.
