Bombardier CRJ100: Founding an Aviation Dynasty!

Today, Bombardier is famous for its line of regional jets, including the CRJ700, CRJ900 and CRJ1000. However, without the Bombardier CRJ100, none of these jets would exist - after all, the CRJ100 was the base for all of them! All in all, Bombardier would build 226 CRJ100s, which would soon become a favorite of airlines across the world. Even though many airlines are retiring their CRJ100 fleets, many airlines are desperately trying to hold onto theirs for as long as possible...

Embraer ERJ-135: The Most Versatile Regional Jet Yet?

Today, Embraer is most famous for producing regional jets, which have taken the world by storm in recent decades. For the most part, this is thanks to the Embraer ERJ-135 and its longer cousin, the Embraer ERJ-145. When the ERJ-135 was introduced, it was intended to be a low-cost alternative to the larger ERJ-145. However, once it was introduced, it soon proved to be much more than just a smaller ERJ-145, to become an invaluable aircraft in any airline's fleet! (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}); Pre-Embraer ERJ-135 When the first jet airliners were released in the 1950's, such as the de Havilland Comet, Boeing 707 and Douglas DC-8, they were mostly long-haul airliners used on high-demand transatlantic and transatlantic routes.

Embraer ERJ-145: The Best Regional Jet Yet?

Today, Embraer is famous for its regional jets, which often compete with both Airbus and Boeing, and sometimes outclass them! This mostly thanks to the Embraer ERJ-145, Embraer's original regional jet... Whilst Embraer had made regional airliners before, mostly turboprops, these were mostly used by small commuter airlines, who fed into much larger airlines. However, the introduction of the Embraer ERJ-145 saw Embraer-made aircraft actually be used by these much larger airlines, rather than by independent airlines who were operating as these larger airlines!
