Bombardier CRJ Series
"Since entering service in 1992, the Bombardier CRJ has revolutionized the commercial air transport industry and changed the way people travel. Today, more than 1,300 Bombardier CRJ aircraft fly with operators large and small all over the world and the CRJ Series family of aircraft has become the most successful regional aircraft program the world has ever known.

The Bombardier CRJ gives airlines the capability to offer services to its passengers that were not previously possible with mainline narrowbody airliners or conventional regional turboprops. These new services can be summarized as follows:

Hub Extension
The speed and range of the CRJ allows airlines to extend the traditional “capture area” of an airline from its hub airports, bringing more passengers into its network.

Hub Bypass & Point-to-Point Service
The smaller aircraft capacity of the CRJ compared to mainline narrowbodies (eg – 737, A320) allows utilizing secondary airports to fly to key destinations, avoiding traditional hub airports..."

Bombardier CRJ200

"The Bombardier CRJ200 was designed to provide superior performance and operating efficiencies in the fast-growing regional airline industry. Against the closest competition it flies faster and farther while burning less fuel and having lower operating costs. With over 1,000 units in commercial service it has become the most successful regional airliner program the world has ever known."

In November 2005 the "Airline Monitor" stated:

"It is well to remember that this regional jet was the most radical new commercial product idea since the Concorde, and together with the 707 and 747 those four represent the real innovation in jet air travel. Think about it - everything else has just been a variation on those themes…"

Bombardier CRJ700

"The Bombardier CRJ700 is the 70-seat airliner of choice of leading airlines the world over, offering a balance of the best economics of its class as well as outstanding performance. Combine this with very high cockpit commonality with the popular CRJ200, CRJ705 & CRJ900, and its no wonder this aircraft is the market leader in its category.

The Bombardier CRJ700 was developed as an evolution of the CRJ200, incorporating new structure and systems, while keeping the cockpit common with other family members. An all-new wing was designed that incorporates full span leading edge slats which allow excellent airfield performance with only a small increase in span from the CRJ200.

The CRJ700 features an new interior cabin that offers increased room for the passenger, enabled by a lowering the floor by 1” (2.54 cm) and redesigning the fuselage frames and stringers compared to the original CRJ200, offering more headroom and a wider cabin. The seating and bins were completely redesigned to allow more passenger space and increased bin stowage.The CRJ700 features an new interior cabin that offers increased room for the passenger, enabled by a lowering the floor by 1” (2.54 cm) and redesigning the fuselage frames and stringers compared to the original CRJ200, offering more headroom and a wider cabin.

Bombardier CRJ900

"The Bombardier CRJ900, as all other members of the CRJ Series family, was introduced into service years ahead of the competition. Being the largest member of the family, the CRJ900 has the best economics of any aircraft in its class. Its seat-mile costs are comparable to new generation narrowbodies for low-cost operation.

The CRJ900 enjoys a high level of commonality with other members of the CRJ family. Pilot conversion from the CRJ700/705 is just a simple paper exercise. A combination of an all-new winglet and flap/slat control laws give it excellent airfield performance and low en-route fuel consumption.

Whether flying a single version of the family or with one of the other family members, CRJ Series operators continue to profit knowing they are using the most popular regional jet in the world."

Bombardier Q Series

"With over 650 Dash 8s in service, fleet in-service flying time totalling more than 13 million hours, several operators with over 60,000 takeoffs and landings, and its unique de Havilland pedigree and famously durable predecessors, the Dash 8 Q Series proves that era of the turboprop has only just begun.

Like our CRJ family, the Q Series-as the Dash 8 has been known since 1996-also flies in three sizes: the 37-seat* Q200; the 50-seat* Q300, and; the highly advanced 70-seat* Q400. In fact, the Q Series introduced a whole new generation of turboprops with its revolutionary Noise and Vibration Suppression (NVS) system. NVS lowers cabin noise and vibration to levels previously unattainable in a turboprop… lower in fact than many commercial jet interiors. And, the Q Series also carries a common type rating, maximizing the benefits of common crew qualifications.

You'll find the Dash 8 at work in every part of the globe, from the Sahara to the Arctic and from the largest cities to the most remote airstrips. No wonder then that the Q Series also has such a solid resume of missionized work."

Bombardier Q200

"The Q200 is designed for airlines and other operators who require an aircraft the same size as the Q100, but with more power and greater payload. Our engineers met the challenge by mating the Q100 airframe with the more powerful Pratt & Whitney PW123 engines found on the larger Q300 aircraft.

The result is the Q200, an aircraft with spectacular performance and increased payload and range capability. This upgrade is ideal for operators who require an aircraft for 'hot and high' operating conditions. The aircraft has excellent performance under in hot climates and at high altitudes, and retains the Dash 8's legendary short field airfield performance operating from runways as short as 800 metres.

Aircraft Description
The Q200 was launched in March 1992 and entered service in mid-1995 with BPX Colombia, an oil exploration company.

The Q200 has a maximum take-off weight of 36,300 lbs. (16,465 kg), a maximum range of 925 nm (1,713 km) and a cruise speed of 290 knots (537 km/h).

With optional fuel tanks, the aircraft has a maximum endurance of 9.5 hours with reserves.

The same qualities that make the Q200 an outstanding passenger aircraft also make it an ideal multi-mission aircraft. The cabin is easily configured from all passengers to all-cargo layouts in as little as 20 minutes."

Bombardier Q300

Increased Capacity & Performance

"The original Q100 did so well in developing regional airline routes that its operators soon required an aircraft with more power and more seats. The answer was the Q300, launched in 1986 with the lowest seat-mile costs and best performance in its class. It entered service with Time Air (became Canadian Regional Airlines) of Canada early in 1989.Eleven feet (3.4 m) longer than the Q100/Q200, the Q300 has the capacity to seat 56 passengers, although most versions are configured to hold 50 seats.

The Q300 has an outstanding take-off and landing capability, even on unprepared airstrips, making it an ideal aircraft for airlines operating in developing regions of the world."

The Q400 NextGen turboprop airliner

"The new Q400 NextGen turboprop airliner is the next step in the continuing evolution of the Q400 aircraft. As with the CRJ NextGen aircraft family, the overall cabin environment of the Q400 NextGen aircraft will be brightened with the introduction of LED lighting while highlighting the improved aesthetics with new ceiling panels and dished window sidewalls. The already spacious interior of the Q400 NextGen aircraft will be further enhanced with the introduction of larger overhead bins that will accommodate standard roller bags. Combining these features with the Active Noise and Vibration Suppression (ANVS) system will give the Q400 NextGen aircraft passenger an even more pleasant cabin experience

Operating costs of the Q400 NextGen airliner, already among the lowest of any regional aircraft, will be made even lower by increasing the scheduled maintenance intervals and further optimizing maintenance tasks to reduce downtime during the aircraft’s life cycle. The Q400 NextGen airliner Aircraft Operating Manual (AOM) will be updated to reflect flight test experience which has shown that the fuel burn under certain operating conditions is lower than predicted.

The Q400 aircraft is already the most technologically advanced turboprop airliner and the NextGen features will make it even more so. The Q400 NextGen aircraft is the turboprop airliner for the twenty-first century."
