Insights

Aviation History

The CRJ700 is a regional jet member of the Bombardier CRJ Series, notable for transforming regional jet travel in the late 1990s and 2000s, and remains popular with US regionals.

Fleet Rarity

American Airlines’ regional partners operate one of the world’s largest CRJ700 fleets, so model is not rare.

Record Flights

Rarely used for exceptionally long routes due to limited range, but regularly operates short- to mid-haul flights of American Eagle’s network.

Safety & Events

The CRJ family has a reliable safety record with a few non-fatal runway excursions and mechanical issues over its long career.

Future Outlook

Still in widespread service, though some are being retired as larger regional jets replace them.
