The British Aerospace Jetstream 41 is a stretched development of the Jetstream 31, designed to carry more passengers over regional routes. It was developed by British Aerospace at its Prestwick, Scotland facility and entered service in the early 1990s as a successor to the smaller Jetstream 31. The Jetstream 41 features a pressurized cabin, retractable undercarriage, and twin Garrett TPE331 turboprop engines. Its stretched fuselage accommodates up to 29 passengers in a 1-2 seating arrangement, making it competitive in the 19-30 seat regional market. Production ended in 1997 after approximately 100 aircraft were built. The type saw widespread use among regional carriers in Europe and North America, though many have since been retired as operators transitioned to newer aircraft.

Notable operators

Notable operators included British Airways Express, Atlantic Southeast Airlines, and Eastern Airways, among other regional carriers.

Encyclopaedia

The British Aerospace Jetstream 41 is a turboprop-powered feederliner and regional airliner, designed by British Aerospace as a stretched version of the Jetstream 31. Intended to compete directly with 30-seat aircraft like the Embraer Brasilia, Dornier 328 and Saab 340, the new design eventually accommodated 29 passengers in a two-by-one arrangement like the Jetstream 31. Trans States Airlines of the US was the biggest operator of Jetstream 41s in the world, with 25 in the fleet.
