The Bombardier CRJ700 series is a family of regional jet airliners that were designed and manufactured by Canadian transportation conglomerate Bombardier (formerly Canadair). Officially launched in 1997, the CRJ700 made its maiden flight on 27 May 1999, and was soon followed by the stretched CRJ900 variant. Several additional models were introduced, including the further elongated CRJ1000 and the CRJ550 and CRJ705, which were modified to comply with scope clauses. In 2020, the Mitsubishi Aircraft Corporation acquired the CRJ program and subsequently ended production of the aircraft.
Development of the CRJ700 series was launched in 1994 under the CRJ-X program, aimed at creating larger variants of the successful CRJ100 and 200, the other members of the Bombardier CRJ-series. Competing aircraft included the British Aerospace 146, the Embraer E-Jet family, the Fokker 70, and the Fokker 100.
In Bombardier’s product lineup, the CRJ-Series was marketed alongside the larger C-Series (now owned by Airbus and rebranded as the Airbus A220) and the Q-Series turboprop (now owned by De Havilland Canada and marketed as the Dash 8). In the late 2010s, Bombardier began divesting its commercial aircraft programs, and on 1 June 2020,[4] Mitsubishi finalized the acquisition of the CRJ program. Bombardier continued manufacturing CRJ aircraft on behalf of Mitsubishi until fulfilling all existing orders in December 2020.[2] While Mitsubishi continues to produce parts for existing CRJ operators, it currently has no plans to build new CRJ aircraft, having originally intended to focus on its SpaceJet aircraft, which has since been discontinued.
