EMBRAER LEGACY 600 (ERJ-135BJ)
Embraer Legacy 600 (ERJ-135BJ): The Corporate Shuttle
The 2002 High-Density Alternative
The ERJ-135BJ designation reveals the Legacy 600's origin as a business jet conversion of the ERJ-135 regional airliner. While mechanically identical to the Legacy 600, the ERJ-135BJ was marketed for corporate shuttle missions — high-density seating, less luxury, more utility.
Specifications That Prioritized Capacity
• Range: 6,297 km (3,400 nm) — same as Legacy 600
• Speed: 833 km/h (450 knots) — slightly slower due to configuration
• Capacity: 13 – 14 passengers in high-density layout
• Cabin: Same 15.19 m length, but less customization
• Mission: Corporate shuttle, not executive transport
The ERJ-135BJ was Embraer's answer to the Challenger 800 — moving large groups efficiently without luxury premiums.
