ResumoThis article looks at the decline in orders of 50-seat and smaller regional jets in favor of larger jets with more range, seats and options. It begins with the case of the CRJ200 at Lufthansa CityLine in 1992 and Embraer and Bombardier's delivery of more than 1,700 jets in the 37/55-seat class compared to Embraer and Bombardier's larger 70/100-seat range sales of 246 jets in 2004 for the class. The article describes Embraer's order history and company profile, including its January 2005 announcement of Advanced Range version of the 190/195, adding an extra 200 nautical miles. Bombardier's order history and company profile are discussed, highlighting a new CRJ900 with winglet-enhanced takeoff and landing. The article also looks at the recent approval of construction of $2 billion-worth of CSeries 110/130-seat jets and its likely competition at GE. Two fact files give tables on Bombardier CRJ order books and Embraer overbooks.
