10 мая 1991г.: первый полет выполнил самолет Regional Jet компании "Canadair", созданный как конкурент семейству EMB-145 компании EMBRAER.

Кроме авиакомпаний самолеты CRJ 100/200 покупали также крупные корпорации, привлеченные их экономичностью и низким уровнем шумности.

Bombardier is continuing to capitalize on the success of the CRJ100/200 by offering a business jet variant called the Challenger 850. This example, C-GSUW, was the first of this version to be delivered and entered service with Suncor Energy in March 2006.

Canadian carriers made deep cuts to their networks to cope with the collapse in passenger numbers, including regional routes

Bombardier CRJ200 C-GTJA/172 is the first of the type in Jazz's fleet to receive the new Air Canada Express colours.

First variant of the CRJ family to be produced was the CRJ100, which was designed to carry 50 passengers and entered service in 1992. This aircraft belongs to Brit Air, a subsidiary of Air France.

Valencia-based Air Nostrum competes not just with other air carriers but with ferry and train operators

Canadair Regional Jet of Spanish carrier Air Nostrum (1999)

Air Nostrum Bombardier CRJ200 EC-MJE (c/n 7622) has returned to the Spanish carrier’s fleet, flying regional services under the Iberia Regional brand, the aircraft having spent three years on lease to Cimber. The aircraft now wears additional markings promoting Carcassone and Perpignan, cities where Air Nostrum flies the aircraft to.

Former Air Littoral Bombardier CRJ200ER F-GPYP (c/n 7126) seen passing through Glasgow, Scotland, on December 1, 2007 on its delivery flight to Air Service, Gabon. The aircraft had been in storage for the last three years at Calgary, Alberta.

Seen at Goderich, Ontario, Canada, after being rolled out on May 8, 2007 was Bombardier CRJ100ER F-GPTC (c/n 7182) in the full colours of Libreville-based Gabonese operator airService, in which it had been completed the previous day by Sky Harbour Aircraft Refinishing. A crew were due to arrive to pick up the aircraft on May 15. The aircraft was last operated by French carrier Air Littoral, which ceased operations on February 13, 2004, following which it had been stored at Calgary, Alberta, since May 13, 2004. This would appear to be the first of the type for airService, which currently operates a turboprop fleet of Dash 8s and Twin Otters.

Amaszonas will expand its international network to include three Brazilian cities.

Austrian arrows currently flies a fleet of 17 Bombardier CRJs, though the five 100LR variants currently operated are due to be disposed of in the near future. However, the 12 200LR aircraft will be retained.

Brit Air serves routes from Rennes to Paris-CDG and Paris-Orly, while maintaining its own network of domestic services and routes to Germany, Italy, Spain and the UK.

Short-lived Indian operator Indus Air, which only commenced operations on December 14, 2006, ceased flying at the end of March due to financial problems. The airline operated just two Bombardier CRJ200ERs, both of which passed through Dublin, Ireland, together on April 22 for a night-stop en route back to Canada. Seen here at Dublin is C-FNJW (c/n 7363, ex VT-I0B, N643BR), whilst the second aircraft was C-FNKC (c/n 7379, ex VT-IOA, N644BR), both previously with Independence Air.

J-AIR, a wholly-owned subsidiary of Japan Airlines, has become the first operator to provide a regional jet service from Tokyo’s Narita International Airport. As with many busy international airports, regional services take second place and additional domestic slots have only became possible with the opening of Narita’s second runway in mid-April. J-AIR launched its CRJ200 service from the airport in April 2002, and took delivery of its third CRJ200 the same month.

Bombardier has been hugely successful with its CRJ family of aircraft, which surprisingly emanated from the design used on the Canadair 600 Challenger business jet. Pictured is a CRJ200, which has been the most successful version to date with over 700 delivered. This example belongs to Lufthansa Cityline and is wearing special markings to illustrate some of the European cities served by the carrier.

The franchising of some services is becoming increasing common amongst Europe's major carriers, two typical examples seen here at Berlin/Tegel on June 7, 2000. In the foreground, BAe Jetstream 31 OY-MUE wears full British Airways colours but is operated by Billund, Denmark-based Sun-Air of Scandinavia, which operates all of its four Jetstream 31s, two Jetstream 41s and three ATPs in BA colours on scheduled services, using BA flight numbers. Sun-Air commenced operations on the Billund-Berlin route on March 27, 2000, but recently discontinued the service due to poor passenger load factors and will redeploy the aircraft elsewhere. Behind is Canadair Regional Jet 100ER F-GPTH of Montpellier, France-based Air Littoral, wearing Team Lufthansa colours for franchise operations. Air Littoral also operates similar flights on behalf of Air France. Previously 49%-owned by Swissair, Air Littoral head Marc Dufour bought this stake in June 2001, relieving Swissair of the burden and enabling the French carrier to streamline its own operations.

Second largest carrier in Lufthansa Regional is eurowings. Based in Dortmund it has 12 CRJ200ERs (pictured), five CRJ200LRs, ten BAe146-300s and four BAe146-200s.

"Bombardier" добилась большого успеха на рынке с самолетом CRJ200. С ростом стоимости авиационного топлива CRJ 200 стали позиционировать как региональный авиалайнер в категории 70-100-местных самолетов.

Nav Canada, the company responsible for Canada's air navigation system, recently added two Bombardier CRJ-200ERs to its fleet of flight inspection aircraft to undertake instrument landing system calibration. Both aircraft, C-GNVC (c/n 7519, ex N660BR) and C-GFIO (c/n 7526, ex N662BR), previously flew with Independence Air and Atlantic Coast Airlines. They will replace CL-600 Challengers C-GCFG and C-GCFI, operating alongside Dash 8-100 C-GCFK. C-GNVC is pictured before a calibration mission at Pearson International Airport, Toronto, Ontario, on August 18, 2008.

In order to comply with scope clause requirements in its pilot's contracts, which limited the number of 50-seat aircraft in its fleet, Bombardier created the CRJ440 for Northwest Airlines to carry 44 passengers.

Bombardier CRJ100ER VQ-BNA (c/n 7473, ex N435CA) is the first aircraft to wear Rusline's new colours. The aircraft was rolled out of the Air Livery hangar at East Midlands Airport, Leicestershire, and departed on October 6, 2011. It is seen there the day before. The regional jet was previously flown by Comair. Rusline is based at Moscow-Vnukovo.

Russian steel company Severstal will take delivery of three former Lufthansa Bombardier CRJ200LRs for use as corporate shuttles. The initial example, D-ACHE (c/n 7407), is seen at Cologne-Bonn Airport in Germany on July 12, 2011 at the start of its delivery flight to Moscow-Domodedovo.

In 2014, the Russian airline UTAir reduced in size. A large part of its fleet was stored at Teruel. Many aircraft have gone on to fly with other companies, including Bombardier CRJ200LR VJ-BGQ (c/n 7200), which is now with the Avimax Group as N718AV.

West Air is the first carrier to operate the CRJ in a pure cargo configuration.
