Welcome to Part 5 of the aircraft identification guide, this will be the last episode for this guide.
This time we will take about others aircraft type which might be popular in your airport. Besides Airbus and Boeing in the world, there are actually other companies / OEMs.
EMBRAER
EMBRAER is a Brazilian company and it has pretty long history in aviation. It has been producing aircraft since 1969. It was owned by the Government at first and become a private entity in 1994. And the very successful aircraft were produced - The ERJs.
ERJs (Embraer Regional Jets)
The ERJs are quite popular in remote region or for nearby domestic routes. You can't find it in Asia Pacific as they don't have this kind of market (35-60 seats). But it is popular in Europe, and America.
How to Identify? Simple, just look at the engines which mounted behind the wings and at the aft of the fuselage. And the size of the aircraft is pretty small.

EMBRAER E-JETS
With the successful ERJs, Embraer embarked on a larger aircraft. (No matter how large, the largest model still smaller than an Airbus A320). Ain't they cute? : )
How to identify?
Smaller fuselage comparing to Airbus A320. There are winglets.
