The Canadair Regional Jet 700, commonly known as the CRJ700, is a stretched development of the CRJ200 family produced by Bombardier Aerospace (originally Canadair). It entered service in 2001 and was designed to carry more passengers on regional routes while maintaining the efficiency and economics of the smaller CRJ series. The CRJ700 features a wider and taller fuselage cross-section compared to its predecessors, allowing for more comfortable seating and overhead bin space. It typically seats between 68 and 78 passengers in a two-by-two configuration, making it more appealing to both airlines and travelers than the cramped layouts of earlier regional jets. The aircraft is powered by two General Electric CF34-8C1 turbofan engines and has a range of approximately 3,000 km, making it well suited for regional and short-haul domestic operations. Production of the CRJ700 has since wound down as Bombardier exited the commercial aircraft market, though the type remains widely operated worldwide.

Notable operators

Major operators include SkyWest Airlines, Mesa Airlines, Air Canada Express, and Lufthansa CityLine.

Encyclopaedia

The Bombardier CRJ700 series is a family of regional jet airliners that were designed and manufactured by Canadian transportation conglomerate Bombardier. Officially launched in 1997, the CRJ700 made its maiden flight on 27 May 1999 and was soon followed by the stretched CRJ900 variant. Several additional models were introduced, including the further elongated CRJ1000 and the CRJ550 and CRJ705, which were modified to comply with scope clauses. In 2020, the Mitsubishi Aircraft Corporation acquired the CRJ program and subsequently ended production of the aircraft.
