Aircraft / Bombardier CRJ900
JStream Original Aircraft Template
The Bombardier CRJ900 is a four-abreast, twin engine regional jet airliner designed and manufactured by Bombardier Aerospace between 2003 and 2020.
Launched in 1999, the CRJ900 was the fourth major variant of the Bombardier CRJ family, as well as its best selling variant. The CRJ900 was developed as a stretch version of the older Bombardier CRJ700, adding about 13 feet / 4 m to the overall length of its fuselage while allowing for a 90 passenger capacity versus the CRJ700’s 68-78 passenger headcount. Strakes were also added to the CRJ900 to help mitigate damage from potential tail strikes.
The CRJ900 made its first flight in February 2001, and entered service in April 2003. The CRJ900 competed against the Embraer E190 and Comac 909, and was offered as a potential replacement aircraft for the aging Fokker 70 and Fokker 100. The business jet version of the CRJ900 was sold as the Bombardier Challenger 890.
The entire CRJ program was acquired by the Japanese corporation Mitsubishi Heavy Industries in 2020, which ended production of the aircraft after 487 CRJ900 examples were built. As of early 2025, over 300 CRJ900 aircraft were reportedly still in service.
