27 мая 1999г.: первый полет прототипа регионального реактивного пассажирского самолета CRJ700 фирмы "Bombardier". Эта машина является удлиненным вариантом лайнера CRJ200.

Introduction of a new breed of regional aircraft, such as the Bombardier CRJ700, will help to ensure the development of city centre airports. Since the first delivery of this new generation 70-seater, Bombardier has delivered CRJ700s to six airlines in Europe and the United States.

Over forty CRJ700s have been delivered to airlines in the US and Europe since January, 2001. Deliveries of the further stretched, 90-seat class CRJ900 are scheduled to begin in the first quarter of 2003. If Rolls-Royce's predictions are accurate - for more larger aircraft on regional routes, with turbojets, rather than turboprops - then the CRJ900's future would appear to be assured. However, the events of last year have shown just how dramatically the airliner market can change.

"Delta Connection" эксплуатирует 15 CRJ700 и 13 CRJ900. 25 сентября 2010 года ее CRJ900, выполнявший рейс №4951 из Атланты, совершил в аэропорту Нью-Йорка аварийную посадку - правая основная стойка шасси не вышла полностью. Жертв удалось избежать.

Although Horizon Air has taken delivery of its first CRJ700, some minor avionics software problems with the type are preventing the Federal Aviation Authority (FAA) from awarding FAR 121 operational approval. The aircraft has already received FAA FAR 25 type certification, but also requires FAR 121 approval to enable the airline to place the aircraft in revenue service. A problem with wind shear detection on the flight control computer and a fault in the flight data recorder are expected to be corrected shortly, enabling completion of certification by the end of June.
Alaska Air Group Inc is the owner of regional carrier Horizon Air. As well as a substantial fleet of Dash 8s, the latter also has 20 CRJ700s.

To create an aircraft that could accommodate 70 passengers Bombardier stretched the CRJ100/200 fuselage by 15ft 6in. The new variant was named the CRJ700 and first flew in 1999. This aircraft belongs to US carrier Horizon Air, one of 20 it has in service.

On November 11 and 12, 2016, Northrop Grumman Systems flew three of its radar test bed aircraft to King County Airport. The aircraft involved were BAC 1-11 N162W (c/n 087), Boeing 727-228 N289MT (c/n 22467) and Bombardier CL600-210 N804X (c/n 10002). The three aircraft all flew missions from the Seattle airport in conjunction with Boeing’s own test bed, Boeing 757 N757A (c/n 22212). All four aircraft flew a combined mission over eastern Washington State on November 11. Bombardier CL600-210 N804X was recently added to the Northrop Grumman test fleet.

Northrop Grumman’s OpenPod, a system billed with IRST and fifth to fourth-generation connectivity capabilities, also participated in Northern Edge carried by the company’s test bed CRJ700 registration N804X.

The APG-83 SABR AESA radar from Northrop Grumman has incorporated developments in the company’s F-22 APG-77 and F-35 APG-81 radar to offer an upgrade to the F-16 fighter and replace the existing mechanically scanned APG-66 and APG-68 radars

Covered in blue and grey swirls, the first Bombardier CRJ700 Series regional airliner, C-FRJX, made its initial flight at Montreal Airport, Canada, on May 27, 1999. Pilots for the 2 hr 8 min flight were Craig Tylski and Chuck Ellis. Firm orders for the CRJ700 total 96.
