Embraer is developing an STC to offer an aftermarket “semi-private” cabin configuration for all ERJ-145 regional jets following growth in use of such aircraft. Under the conversion, the twinjets can be converted from the 50-seat configuration to “premium” seating for 16 to 28 with no more than one seat on each side of the aisle.

The semi-private configuration also would include removing overhead bins, aimed at creating more personal space for passengers. Embraer-owned service centers would perform the conversions.
