Regional Jets are larger aircraft designed for short to medium haul missions powered by turbofan engines. They feature wider cabins that can accommodate between 50 to 112 passengers and can cruise over 763-850km/h and fly a range of 2000-3500km. Passengers can enjoy a full range of amenities from a full galley offering both hot and cold food, stand-up room, a private lavatory, and baggage compartments. Flight attendants are available to enhance the passenger experience and maintain safety.

There are many types of Regional Jets available including ERJ 145 manufactured by Embraer.

With a maximum altitude of 37,000ft, the ERJ 145 has a range of 2445km (1320nm) whilst carrying 50 passengers and can travel up to 833km/h.
