Smaller jets for feeder and regional service, such as the E-Jets, the CRJ and the Superjet.
Embraer E170
ERJ-170-100
The smallest first-generation E-Jet: the E170 brought the whole family into scheduled service with LOT in 2004, is no longer built and is a phase-out model in Europe. Here is how to tell it from the almost identical E175.
Embraer E175
ERJ-170-200
The small E-Jet with the big US career: the E175 flies with roughly 76 to 88 seats in a 2+2 cabin, is Embraer’s bestseller and in Europe is seen mainly with KLM Cityhopper and LOT.
Embraer E190
ERJ-190
The regional jet with mid-haul comfort: the E190 puts around 100 passengers in the air in a 2+2 cabin with no middle seat – and is often mistaken for its successor, the E190-E2.
Embraer E190-E2
E190-E2
Same fuselage, all-new wing: the E190-E2 is the second generation of the mid-size E-Jet. Long, swept-back wingtips and big geared turbofan engines give it away – if you know what to look for.
Embraer E195
ERJ 190-200
The largest first-generation E-Jet: the E195 stretches the E190 by about 2.4 meters and typically puts a good 100 to 120 passengers in the air in a 2+2 cabin. In Europe it is at home mainly in the Lufthansa Group.
Embraer E195-E2
Embraer 195-E2
The biggest jet Embraer has ever built: the E195-E2 fits up to 146 seats into a 2+2 cabin, has extremely long wings and in Europe flies mainly with KLM Cityhopper.
Embraer ERJ 135
EMB-135
The shortest jet of the ERJ family: the ERJ 135 is an ERJ 145 shortened by about 3.5 meters with 37 seats, rear-mounted engines and a T-tail – and the basis for the Legacy 600 business jet.
Embraer ERJ 140
EMB-135KL
The regional jet that exists because of a pilot contract: the ERJ 140 is an ERJ 145 with 44 instead of 50 seats, built almost exclusively for American Eagle and gone from scheduled service today.
Embraer ERJ 145
EMB-145
Long nose, rear-mounted engines, T-tail and three seats per row: the ERJ 145 is the 50-seat base model of the ERJ family and Embraer’s jet breakthrough – with over 1,200 family members built.
Turbine-powered propeller aircraft for short routes and smaller airports, such as the ATR 42/72 and the Dash 8.
Embraer EMB 110 Bandeirante
Bandeirante
Low wing, two PT6 turboprops, roughly 15 to 21 seats: the Bandeirante started the Embraer story in 1968. Learn how to recognize this Brazilian feeder classic and where to find the last ones.
Embraer EMB 120 Brasilia
EMB-120
Low wing, T-tail, two four-blade propellers and about 30 seats: in the 1980s and 1990s the EMB 120 Brasilia was a workhorse of US regional airlines. Today it flies mostly as a freighter and an oddity.
Business aircraft from the Cessna Citation to the Gulfstream – out in force at many airports during trade fairs and major events.
Embraer Legacy 600/650
EMB-135BJ
A regional jet in a tailored suit: the Legacy 600 and 650 grew out of the ERJ 135 – with winglets, extra tanks and a business cabin for about 13 to 14 guests. Embraer built 289 until 2020.
Embraer Lineage 1000
Lineage 1000E
An E190 on the outside, a flying apartment inside: the Lineage 1000 is Embraer’s largest business jet. Only 28 were built – here is how to recognize the rare VIP version.
Embraer Phenom 100
EMB-500
Small, fast and often with just one pilot in the cockpit: the Phenom 100 is Embraer’s entry into the world of very light jets. Since 2008 it has flown with owners, air taxi companies, flight schools and air forces.
Embraer Phenom 300
EMB-505
For years the world’s most-delivered light jet: the Phenom 300 flies for NetJets, charter companies and owners who sit in the cockpit themselves. Here is how to recognize it and where to find it in Europe.
Embraer Praetor 500
EMB-545
Fly-by-wire with sidesticks, a stand-up cabin and transatlantic reach: the Praetor 500 is the evolved Legacy 450 and one of the most modern midsize business jets. Here is how to recognize it and tell it from the longer Praetor 600.
Embraer Praetor 600
EMB-550
Rear engines, a T-tail, big winglets and a range of well over 4,000 nautical miles: the Praetor 600 is Embraer’s super-midsize jet. Here is how to tell it from the shorter Praetor 500 and the Legacy 500.
Transports, tankers, trainers and combat aircraft. Seen mainly at military airfields, at airshows and as visitors at civil airports.
