Embraer ERJ-135 empty legs

Not a business jet at all: a thirty seven seat regional airliner that a few operators run on charter and shuttle work. It appears on our board occasionally, in bursts, and then not for weeks.

When it turns up

The ERJ-135 is the aircraft for a sports team, a crew change or a company move, and its empty legs are the positioning flights around those jobs. In our record they have come from a very small number of sources on a handful of routes, and long gaps between them are normal. If the board above is empty, that is the usual state rather than a fault; the alert is the only sensible way to catch one.

What you get

ERJ-135 cabin in an executive layout, club seats in cream leather with wood trim
An executive fit out on the ERJ-135 airframe. Cabins on this type run from executive layouts to airline style shuttle seating.

Airline seating rather than a club cabin, a proper galley, and the ability to move a large group on one aircraft. Prices have not been published on it in our record. The Legacy 600 and 650 are the same fuselage fitted out as executive jets. Specification: ERJ-135 and the Legacy family.

Embraer ERJ-135: specification and background

The ERJ-135 is the 37 seat member of Embraer's regional jet family, introduced in 1999 and built until 2020. Most flew for airlines, but a number were converted to corporate shuttle or VIP layouts and a few operate as charter aircraft for sports teams, crews and group moves. The Legacy 600 and 650 are the same fuselage designed from the outset as executive jets.
