How many people can an airplane carry? Depends on the aircraft. Some planes such as the 787 and 320 can carry up too 250 passengers, While an Embraer 145 can only hold about 25-45.
In a commercial configuration it could carry as many as 228 passengers if it were filled with economy seats, but there's nothing economy about this plane. Trump's 757 is designed to carry 43 passengers secured with 24 caret gold plated seat belts, according to a video tour of the aircraft his company posted in 2011.
