The Embraer 145XR (Extra Long Range) provides approximately 450nm extra range compared to the -LR version. The additional wingtips and fuel tanks installed are the only main difference with the -145 and contribute to the extended range capability. Overall, the aircraft is capable of flying 50 passengers in a standard configuration over a distance of 2000 nm or 3.706km.

The additional range is an ideal feature for longer and thin routes and makes this aircraft even more interesting for potential customers operating in developing markets.
