Insights

Aviation History

The CRJ200 ushered in the modern era of regional jet travel in North America in the late 1990s.

Fleet Rarity

Common regional jet, but fleets are shrinking as airlines retire older CRJ200s.

Record Flights

Extensively used on short regional hops across the US and Canada; some of the shortest scheduled jet flights in the US.

Safety & Events

CRJ200s have had several non-fatal incidents such as gear and engine malfunctions, but generally have a solid safety record.

Future Outlook

Many airlines are retiring CRJ200s in favor of newer, larger regional jets; some continue in service, others converted to cargo or for charter/charter ops.
