The story
The smallest of Embraer's ERJ family, the 135 is a 37-seat regional jet that connects small cities to major hubs. It's the plane you board when the gate agent says 'we'll be walking to the aircraft today.' Quiet, efficient, and surprisingly comfortable for its size.
The ERJ-135 shares 95% of its parts with the larger ERJ-145. Embraer basically took out a few rows of seats.
