Aircraft / Bombardier CRJ700
The Bombardier CRJ700 is a four-abreast, twin engine regional jet airliner designed and manufactured by Bombardier Aerospace between 1991 and 2006. It was the third major variant of the Bombardier CRJ family, following the prior generation Bombardier CRJ100/CRJ200 variants.
Launched in 1997, the CRJ700 made its first flight on 27 May 1999, and was soon followed by the stretched Bombardier CRJ900 variant. Several additional variants of the type were later introduced, including the elongated Bombardier CRJ1000, as well as the CRJ550 and CRJ705 variants developed to comply with certain US airline pilot contract scope clauses.
The CRJ program was acquired by the Japanese corporation Mitsubishi Heavy Industries in 2020, which ended production of the aircraft after 924 examples were built, 346 of which were of the CRJ700, CRJ550 and CRJ705 variants. As of this writing 242 CRJ700s are still in service worldwide.
