126-461: A commercial success as well. According to aerospace publication Flight International , 1999 was a record year in terms of aircraft deliveries by Bombardier. Writing around this time, authors Bijan Vasigh, Reza Taleghani, and Darryl Jenkins declared that "the CRJ program [is] one of the most successful regional aircraft programs in the world". By the end of 2000, perhaps the most significant operators of

168-587: A family of jet-propelled regional airliners , based upon the design of the Challenger CL-600 business jet . Roughly, the CL-600 was stretched 5.92 metres (19 feet 5 inches), which was achieved using fuselage plugs fore and aft of the wing, and was matched with the adoption of a reinforced and modified wing, an expanded fuel capacity, improved landing gear to handle the higher weights, and an additional pair of emergency exit doors. When installed in

210-699: A fleet of CRJ200s. Outfitted with a 44-seat configuration, designated as the CRJ440 , these aircraft had closets in the forward areas of the passenger cabin, though these were later converted to 50 seat airplanes. These modifications were designed to allow operations under their major airline contract "scope clause" which restricted major airlines' connection carriers from operating equipment carrying 50 or more passengers to guard against usurpation of Air Line Pilots Association and Allied Pilots Association pilots' union contract ; these scope clauses have been since relaxed when union contracts were re-written between unions and

252-522: A further 70 aircraft for $ 1.3 billion. In response to customer demand, the company stated that it was to increase production at its Montreal assembly line from 75 to 90 aircraft per year before the end of the year. By 2001, a total of 516 airliners were reportedly on order, of which 272 had been delivered. To address the backlog of nearly 250 aircraft, Bombardier worked to increase the rate of production from 9.5 regional jets per month to 12.5 regional jets. The boom in regional jets did not exclusively benefit

294-682: A joint venture through the creation of a parent company, Regional Express Aviation Ltd. (REAL), based in Calgary, Alberta. Air Georgian and R1 both benefit from having access to the world's largest private fleet of Dash 8 and CRJ aircraft, over CAD$ 100 million in spare parts and domestic maintenance bases located throughout Canada. The joint venture with R1 ended in February 2016. In December 2013, Air Canada announced that commencing in mid-2014, Air Georgian would operate additional routes in Canada and

336-872: A sale of its assets to Pivot Airlines , a company run by the same executives. Air Georgian operated under the Subparts 704 and 705 of the Canadian Aviation Regulations (CAR 704, CAR 705) and had completed the IATA Operational Safety Audit . Air Georgian pilots were represented by the Air Line Pilots Association (ALPA). Air Georgian began as an airport developer in 1985. It began commercial operations in 1994 and subsequently developed its commercial air carrier business, which as of 2011 represented 87 percent of its total business. In 1997 It became

378-499: A subsidiary of the nation's flag carrier operator Lufthansa , served as the launch customer for the CRJ100. Throughout the type's production life, it continued to be a major customer of the CRJ series. During 2001, following Lufthansa's acquisition of 25 per cent of regional airliner Eurowings , the airline ordered 15 CRJ200s with options for 30 more as part of a strategic move towards fleet commonality with Lufthansa Skyline. During

420-440: A typical seating configuration, the CRJ100 would accommodate 50 passengers; while in a maximum configuration, 52 passengers could be accommodated. It was powered by a pair of General Electric CF34-3A1 turbofan engines, each of which was capable of generating up to 41 kN (9,220 lbf) of thrust. The CRJ100 featured a Collins -built ProLine 4 avionics suite, including a weather radar . German airline Lufthansa CityLine ,

504-597: The Airline Deregulation Act of 1978. Considerable demand across the North American market was experienced by both the CRJ100 and the CRJ200. The smaller size of the regional jets meant than, unlike traditional narrowbody jets, they could be used at the majority of secondary airports and avoid traditional hubs. Soon after the entry to service of the longer range CRJ200, the model proved to be

546-519: The Challenger 600 business jet, was launched in early 1989. The first CRJ100 prototype made its maiden flight on 10 May 1991. Canada's first jet airliner to enter commercial service was introduced by launch customer Lufthansa in 1992. The 50 seat aircraft is powered by two GE CF34 turbofans, mounted on the rear fuselage . The CRJ200 has more efficient turbofan engines for lower fuel consumption, increased cruise altitude and speed. During

588-610: The ERJ-135 /145 values. The last aircraft delivered had a value of $ 22 million, falling to $ 2 million 13 years later due to their operator concentration in the US. Airlines are replacing their CRJs with more modern and larger airliners like the Embraer E-Jet and Bombardier CRJ700 series . Several models of the CRJ have been produced, ranging in capacity from 40 to 50 passengers. The Regional Jet designations are marketing names and

630-723: The bankruptcy and purchase of Learjet by Bombardier during 1990 had allowed for the development costs of the Challenger to be written off, which in turn had the impact of substantially lowering the cost of the Regional Jet program. In addition, the projected operating costs of the CRJ was lower than some of its turboprop -powered rivals, including the Fokker 50 , the ATR-42 , and the Bombardier Dash 8 . On 10 May 1991,

672-463: The CRJ program and the production line was closed down; according to Pierre Beaudoin, president and chief operating officer at Bombardier Aerospace, the decision was difficult but necessary for profitability. While no further CRJ100 or CRJ200 jet liners have been constructed since 2006, over the years since then, various technologies and innovations have been retrofitted onto examples of the type, which have largely remained in commercial service. Some of

714-516: The CRJ series; simultaneously, Brazilian manufacturer and rival firm Embraer also worked to increase their output of regional jets. For a time, the CRJ series was viewed by Bombardier as a means of entering new markets; around the turn of the century, considerable sales focus to the Asia Pacific region was implemented, leading to several sales of regional jets to airlines in nations such as China and Japan . The company's sales strategy

756-507: The CRJ100 included the American airline Comair , German short-haul operator Lufthansa Cityline , and French regional airline Brit Air ; of its CRJ200 sibling, key operators by this time included Delta Connection , SkyWest Airlines , and Independence Air . During early 1999, Bombardier announced the biggest ever order in the company's history; issued by Northwest Airlines , it involved a firm order for 54 CRJ200LRs along with options for

798-626: The CRJ200 and its newer, larger brethren, but various new systems and structures, such as an all-new wing, were incorporated into the design as well. Capable of seating up to 70 passengers, the first of these aircraft was delivered during 2001; the CRJ700 was soon joined by the even larger CRJ900 and CRJ1000 models. On June 1, 2020, the entire Bombardier CRJ regional airliner family was sold to Mitsubishi Heavy Industries (MHI), which plans to continue manufacturing spare parts and providing maintenance support. The Bombardier CRJ100 and CRJ200 are

840-400: The CRJ200 early on; during April 2000, it was announced that the airline had placed a $ 10 billion order for 500 CRJs to meet its needs and its subsidiaries, these were a combination of CRJ200s and CRJ700s. According to Flight International, during early 2000, Delta was operating more regional jets than any other North American airline. By June 2003, the airliner operated a fleet of 223 CRJs and

924-585: The United States using Air Canada CRJ100/200 aircraft. In 2019, Air Canada indicated it was ending its relationship with the company, consolidating its CRJ regional capacity into the Jazz Aviation operation. On January 31, 2020, Air Georgian filed notice of intent for bankruptcy protection . On March 16, 2020, Air Georgian received court approval for an asset purchase agreement with Pivot Airlines (2746904 Ontario Inc) for substantially all

966-500: The airliner's first 100 days of operational service, the CRJ100 performed a total of 1,237 flights, during which it reportedly achieved a 99% dispatch reliability while its fuel economy was reportedly 8% superior to the originally projected figure. According to aviation author Dean Roberts, the CRJ100 had benefitted greatly from an industry-wide shift towards hub-and-spoke networks in the United States , which had resulted from

1008-455: The assets, properties and undertakings of the company. Pivot Airlines is a new company whose CEO as well as Maintenance Operations and Flight Operations Vice Presidents are the same as Air Georgian's. On May 29, 2020, the transaction was completed, however, the June 1 deadline to make a proposal to exit bankruptcy protection passed and no proposal having been made, the company was declared bankrupt

1050-450: The company publicised its proposal for an expanded model of the aircraft, designated as the Challenger 610E , which would have had seating for an additional 24 passengers. However, such a lengthening did not occur as a result of work on the program being terminated during the following year. Despite the cancellation of the 610E, neither the concept or general interest in the development of an enlarged derivative had disappeared. During 1987,

1092-400: The design of the earlier Canadair Challenger business jet. During the late 1970s, the relatively wide fuselage of the Challenger, which could seat a pair of passengers on each side of a central aisle, was observed by some Canadair officials to suggest that it would be somewhat straightforward to produce a stretch of the aircraft for the purpose of accommodating more seats. Accordingly, in 1980,

1134-498: The faster climb and cruise gave it a one third time advantage to 50 min compared to similarly sized turboprops. The higher cost per seat of the regional jet, of $ 270,000 each compared to $ 186,600, would be balanced by its higher productivity. During the spring of 1989, these investigations directly led to the formal launch of the Canadair Regional Jet program; it had been decided to retain the "Canadair" name despite

1176-546: The firm's purchase by Bombardier. The program was launched with the aim of selling at least 400 aircraft. SkyWest Airlines , a regional airline was the first US-based customer, placing an order for 10 aircraft in 1989 before the program was officially launched. The Regional Jet program benefitted from the support of the Canadian government. Reportedly, the break even point for the type was considered to be relatively low amongst its contemporaries; it has been speculated that

1218-401: The first of three development aircraft for the initial CRJ100 variant performed its first flight from Montréal–Pierre Elliott Trudeau International Airport , starting a 1,000h flight test program with three prototypes. During the following year, the type was awarded airworthiness certification ; on 29 October 1992, initial deliveries to customers occurred later on that year. On 26 July 1993,

1260-718: The first prototype (C-FCRJ) was lost in a spin mishap near the Bombardier test center in Wichita, Kansas . The initial model was followed by the CRJ100 ER subvariant, featuring 20 percent greater range, and the CRJ100 LR subvariant, which possessed 40 percent more range than the standard CRJ100. This sub-variant was developed with the purpose of more closely conforming with the requirements of both corporate and executive operators. A cargo door retrofit has been developed for

1302-643: The following day. In the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic , Air Georgian had begun offering repatriation flights. At the time of bankruptcy, the Canadian Civil Aircraft Register showed 14 aircraft registered for Air Georgian Limited.

1344-418: The installation of former passenger-configured aircraft to extend the useful life of early-built CRJ100s. The CRJ200 , is almost identical to the earlier CRJ100 models, except for the adoption of more efficient GE CF34-3B1 engines; these engines had lower fuel consumption while providing improvements in performance with increased cruise altitude and increased cruise speed. Bombardier had specifically designed

1386-509: The late 1990s, it was stretched into the CRJ700 series . Production ended in 2006 but many remain in service. In 2020, Mitsubishi Heavy Industries purchased the entire CRJ line from Bombardier, and will continue support for the aircraft. CRJ100 and CRJ200 are marketing designations defining a CRJ100 of aircraft type CL-600-2B19 with CF34 -3A1 engines and a CRJ200 as CL-600-2B19 variant with CF34-3B1 engines. The CRJ family has its origins in

1428-459: The new model to provide better performance and efficiencies than any of its nearest competitors at that time. SkyWest Airlines was the launch customer for the CRJ200, conducting the first revenue flight of the type on February 15, 1994. There would also be a CRJ200 freighter variant, designated as the CRJ200 PF ( Package Freighter ), which was developed in cooperation with Cascade Aerospace on

1470-1012: The official designation is CL-600-2B19 . As of 2015, 1021 CRJ100/200 had been ordered and delivered: 226 CRJ100s, 709 CRJ200s and 86 CRJ440s. In July 2018, 498 CRJ100/200 were in airline service: 407 in North America, 58 in Europe, 16 in Africa, 16 in Asia Pacific and 1 in the Middle East. Operators with 10 or more CRJ100/200 aircraft are SkyWest Airlines (136), Air Wisconsin (62) and RusLine (14). Numerous retired CRJ200 aircraft are used in aircraft maintenance technician (AMT) training programs. The following aircraft were donated by SkyWest Airlines : Related development Aircraft of comparable role, configuration, and era Related lists The initial version of this article

1512-458: The operators of the larger versions, such as the CRJ700, have undertaken work to install Wi-Fi capabilities on board the type; however, to date, no airlines operating the CRJ200/100 had chosen to implement an onboard Wi-Fi compatibility. By 2013, fuel costs have made smaller 50-seat regional jets uneconomical on many US routes, accelerating the retirement of young CRJ100/200s, and lowering

1554-512: The production rate of the CRJ100/200 series were announced in conjunction with declining market forecasts, which had the effect of narrowing the division's losses. The company soon adopted a new market strategy, prioritising the newer and larger CRJ700 and its direct derivatives over other products, such as its turboprop range and the older CRJ100 and CRJ200 models that had spawned them. During early 2006, Bombardier terminated its activity on

1596-413: The request of West Air Sweden . During 1995, Bombardier embarked on design studies and a detailed market evaluation on the topic of producing a substantially enlarged derivative of the CRJ200. These efforts quickly transitioned into a $ 450 million program to produce such an aircraft, which was produced as the CRJ700 . Many areas of commonality , such as the design of the cockpit, were retained between

1638-443: The three remaining U.S. legacy carriers. Similarly, Comair 's fleet of 40-seat CRJ200s were sold at a discounted price to discourage Comair from purchasing the less expensive and smaller Embraer 135 . During the middle of the 2000s, Bombardier's commercial aircraft division had incurred persistent operational losses, which motivated management to initiate restructuring and cost-cutting efforts. As such, during 2004, repeated cuts to

1680-456: The year following Canadair's sale to Bombardier , design studies commenced into options for producing a substantially more ambitious stretched configuration of the Challenger. In July 1988, Canadair targeted a $ 13-14 million unit price, for a demand of over 1,000 by 1999. The 48-seat jet would be stretched over the Challenger by a 128 in (3.3 m) forward plug and a 112 in (2.8 m) aft plug. Over 300 mi (480 km) routes,

1722-407: Was augmented by the availability of financing from the Canadian government, via which means customers of the CRJ would sometimes partially-finance their purchase. In order to appropriately provide services to the diverse customers for the CRJ series, Bombardier invested in a series of support facilities throughout the world. The American operator Delta Connection was a major source of orders for

1764-410: Was ordering yet more of the type. Delta's influence on the fortunes of the CRJ program was significant, during late 2004, when Bombardier announced an incoming cut in the type's production rate, amongst the reasons given was a delay in anticipated orders for additional CRJ200s. A CRJ200ER delivered in 2003 had a $ 21 million value. The American holding company Pinnacle Airlines Corporation operated
