The Jet Finder's aircraft directory currently tracks 7 active Embraer ERJ 135 registrations in the FAA Aircraft Registry. Each tail number page below provides individual registration data, serial numbers, ownership records, and specification details sourced from official FAA documentation.
Performance & Powerplant
Power comes from 2x Rolls-Royce AE3007A1/3, each producing 7,580 lbs of thrust. Maximum cruise speed reaches 470 knots (undefined), with a long-range cruise of 440 kts for missions where fuel efficiency matters more than speed. The service ceiling of 37,000 feet puts the Embraer ERJ 135 well above commercial traffic corridors, and a takeoff distance of 5,512 ft keeps smaller airfields accessible.
With 1,750 nautical miles of range under standard reserves, the Embraer ERJ 135 handles regional cross-country routing — New York to Miami, Chicago to Dallas, or Los Angeles to Seattle. Typical hourly operating costs range from $3,000-$4,000 per flight hour.
Cabin & Interior
The Embraer ERJ 135 cabin measures 49.3 ft long, 6.9 ft wide, and 6.0 ft tall. Standard configurations seat up to 37 passengers, with 310 cu ft of externally accessible baggage capacity. The Honeywell Primus 1000 avionics suite provides full IFR certification for all-weather operations.
