Canadair CL-600 Regional Jet CRJ-700
The Bombardier CRJ700 is a stretched version of the original CRJ regional jet family, carrying significantly more passengers than the 50-seat CRJ200 on a lengthened fuselage. That extra capacity let airlines fly it profitably on routes with more demand than a smaller regional jet could serve, while still burning less fuel than a full-size narrow-body. Its cabin, wider than the CRJ200's, offered noticeably more passenger comfort as well. It helped Bombardier compete directly with Embraer's growing E-Jet family in the larger end of the regional jet market.
