The Canadair Regional Jet®, is one of the world’s quietest commercial jets - a benefit for both the people on board and those on the ground. It is also the fastest regional aircraft in the skies, with a cruising speed of 530mph. It offers seating for 50 passengers in the superior comfort of a vibration-free cabin with features such as two-across seating, generous legroom and more than six feet of stand-up headroom. The crew consists of two pilots and one flight attendant. It has a range of 1,900 statute miles and a ceiling of 41,000 ft. The CRJ also boasts advanced avionics and communications systems in its “glass cockpit,” and its clean, fuel-efficient GE engines make the CRJ as environmentally friendly as it is technologically advanced. 

The CRJ200 Series was designed to provide superior performance and operating efficiencies in the fast-growing regional airline industry.

The CRJ200 Series has been designed with cabin amenities and comfort features that are comparable to those of larger jet aircraft. The roomy 8.43-foot (2.57 m) wide cabin features two-plus-two seating and gives passengers more than six feet (1.85 m) of headroom. With unobstructed under-seat stowage and overhead bins on both sides, carry-on luggage is close at hand in the CRJ's symmetric, spacious and quiet cabin. The aircraft has a forward galley, rear baggage compartment and rear lavatory.

The operating economics of the CRJ200 are remarkable. It can fly further, faster, more often and more economically than any aircraft in its class. With its long range and high cruise speed, the CRJ200, which can seat 50 passengers in a true European high service configuration, allows airlines to serve more cities and open new markets. 

That's more, the CRJ200 delivers the lowest trip and seat mile cost of any 50-seat jet airline-giving airlines the potential for higher profits flight after flight.

And because the aircraft is designed to share a high degree of commonality with other members of the CRJ family, fleet operators can enjoy substantial savings in spares, ground support equipment, maintenance programs and aircrew training costs.

The CRJ200 emits the lowest combined takeoff, sideline, and approach noise pattern when compared to almost any other commercial jetliner. The twin General Electric engines powering the CRJ200 also produce one of the lowest levels of engine emissions-well below recommended standards set by current regulations, making the CRJ200 both an environmental and community-friendly jetliner. 

The air quality inside the cabin is also the best in the industry. The CRJ200 features 100% fresh air with no air being re-circulated back into the cabin.
