	Regional jet - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		A regional jet (RJ) is a small jet aircraft that is intended to fly passengers from point to point as efficiently as possible.
		Regional jet aircraft are typically flown by the regional airline partners of the larger international airlines.
		The reason that regional jet operators provide an economic benefit to traditional airlines comes from the fee-per-departure payment structure under which these aircraft are operated.

	USATODAY.com - Travel - News - Regional jet flights dominate at seven U.S. hubs (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-13)
		Boyd was among the first a decade ago to herald the coming importance of regional jets as a way for airlines to lower costs and maximize revenue on routes with "thin" demand, and to prospect for new business on routes too long for turboprop planes and too thin for bigger planes.
		By deploying regional jets instead of 120- or 150-seat jets, the big airlines are reducing the supply side of the economic equation.
		Regional jets "were never intended to be low-fare airplanes," Boyd says.

	World Airline News: Regional Jet Residuals To Gain From Easing Of Scope Clause
		Values of regional jets, having tumbled for the first time in the wake of Sept. 11, are beginning to enjoy the benefits of restructuring by both U.S. major and commuter airlines.
		To date Bombardier officially indicates that no existing regional jet orders have been deferred or cancelled and that regional jet deliveries for next year are expected to remain at the same level as for this year, although a larger number of CRJ700s will be delivered.
		Financial institution J P Morgan expects to see little change in regional jet deliveries over the next three years such that some 400 will be delivered each year, contrasting with the anticipated 23 percent drop in Airbus and Boeing deliveries for 2002.

	BUSINESS: Slimming down the jumbo jet
		The jets, ranging in size from 37 to 90 seats, first appeared in the United States a decade ago and became the fastest-growing type of commercial aircraft.
		Since the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks, regional jets have been the only kind of planes airlines added to their fleets as they struggle to match the supply of seats with dwindling demand.
		Regional jets have big-jet amenities, such as overhead bins, air conditioning on the ground and even drink minicarts.

	StartupJournal \| Great Plains Airlines
		Demand is booming as regional jets, with their faster, smoother ride, are replacing slow, noisy turboprop planes that airlines have used for decades to connect small cities with the carriers' big hubs.
		Indeed, regional airlines, most of which are franchise or subsidiary operations of mainline carriers, pay lower wages and use lower-cost airports than their big siblings.
		Today, regional airlines are generally allowed to fly planes with as many as 70 seats, but some pilots are pushing to lower that limit and to bring scope clauses to Europe, where their absence has spurred demand for small jets.

	Regional jet dogfight (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-13)
		Regional jets have already revolutionized the airline industry and placed Cincinnati on the aviation map.
		Several companies suggest that the number of regional jets with 50 to 90 seats could double in the next 20 years — with most of the growth occurring in the larger 70- to 100-seat range (Delta has ordered 70-seaters, but Comair won't say when it will receive its first one).
		Siebenburgen said Comair officials first shopped the concept of a regional jet to Saab in the late 1980s, then went to Embraer, which was supplying the airline with Brasilia turboprops at the time (the company still operates seven of the 37-seaters out of its Orlando, Fla., hub).

		The market is being fueled by regional airlines that want to extend their reach beyond the 400 miles possible with traditional propeller driven planes and by a shift by the major carriers who are turning over an increasing number of their shorter, more thinly traveled routes to their regional satellites.
		And that Cincinnati connection extends across the Ohio River to Comair, a pioneer in the regional jet revolution.
		Comair, which is adding new Canadair regional jets at the rate of one a month, expects to have an all-jet fleet by 2001.

		t the dawn of the Regional Jet concept and the initial development of jet powered aircraft having seating capacities in the range of 50 seats (plus or minus 15), industry critics were quick to point out that jet aircraft of this size would never compete with the turboprops.
		In the case of the development of the Regional Jet success there were two basic problems: one was the technical or efficiency obstacle upon which the critics drew most of the attention to.
		The success of the Regional Jet aircraft in a market where “it would never fly” is advancing further and faster.

	Forbes.com: UPDATE 2-US Airways swapping regional jet model on order (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-13)
		The 75-seat jets were to be taken as part of a $4.3 billion order for at least 170 regional jets evenly split between Canada's Bombardier and Brazil's Embraer unveiled shortly after US Airways' 8-month bankruptcy stay ended in March.
		Regional jets are cheaper to operate than bigger aircraft, and can pull in profits in small markets that cannot fill large planes.
		US Airways pilots passed an unusual vote of no confidence in the airline's senior management after the jet order in May. The pilots claimed the airline's order for at least 170 regional jets from Bombardier and Embraer SA violated clauses in their recent labor agreement that restricted the tonnage of certain aircraft.

		Bombardier is targeting Europe's regional airlines for the CRJ900, since scope clause agreements are likely to limit the use of large-capacity RJs in the U.S. market for the foreseeable future.

	CNN.com - China enters regional jet market - Oct. 1, 2002
		U.S. giant Boeing and Europe's Airbus dominate the international market for large (100-seat plus) passenger jets, but there is seen to be more scope for newcomers in the 50- to 100-seater regional jet sector.
		The aviation industries of China, South Korea, Indonesia and Japan each looked at the regional jet sector in the late 1990s, but the 1997 Asian economic crisis and the tourism downturn after the September 2001 terrorist attacks meant there has been little progress with their plans.
		It would be Japan's first passenger jet and the first passenger aircraft developed since the 64-seat propeller-driven YS-11 was introduced in the early 1960s.
