Regional jets, RJs in common parlance, are enabling the continued rapid growth in passenger traffic carried by the regional airline industry.
Regional jet traffic in the continental US is expected to continue its rapid growth for the next several years as the regional airline industry continues to procure and deploy RJs at a very fast pace.
Most aircraft currently in service and the vast majority of newly purchased aircraft operate at speeds nearly identical to the lower end of the range of the narrowbody fleet used by the major airlines.

 Business Opportunities from Regional Aircraft
Regional jets, particularly their engines and components, are emerging as a major growh driver in the commercial transport MRO market.
In fact, the company has developed a regional jet airframe, component and engine MRO specialty during the past four years, aided in part by work rule changes brought about by parent company Air Canada's bankruptcy, from which it just emerged.
"Especially where regional aircraft are involved, many airlines will select MRO vendors based on their ability to meet that readiness requirement, but only on a very cost-competitive basis," he explained.

 Regional jet aircraft deliveries to outpace those of larger aircraft - report - Brief Article Airline Industry ...
The report also forecast that the demand for regional jet aircraft will total about 14,000 in the same 20-year time period, with 10-120 seat aircraft expected to sell the fastest on a global basis.
Deliveries of these smaller aircraft will most likely continue to be dominated by manufacturers such as Canada's Bombardier Inc, Brazil's Embraer and Fairchild Dornier, a joint US-German company, despite the introduction of smaller aircraft series by Boeing Co and Airbus Industrie, which traditionally produce larger aircraft.
Demand in the USA is expected to account for about 50% of the regional aircraft deliveries although deliveries to Europe will grow at a faster pace according to the report.

 AIN Online: New Regional Aircraft   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-16)
But despite the regionals’ robust traffic gains over the past three years, a virtual full-time emphasis on supplementing or replacing grounded mainline narrowbodies placed many plans for new market development on hold.
With hindsight, Embraer and Bombardier can attribute the accelerated shift in emphasis to larger regional jets to the air transport industry’s downfall, as major airlines more and more use RJs to solve their overcapacity and cost-structure predicaments.
In any case, little doubt remains that the future of the remaining regional aircraft builders lies with larger airplanes, as demonstrated by the preponderance of 70- to 110-seat jets among the new designs featured in the following report.
