Regional Jet

A regional jet is a small to medium-sized aircraft designed for short to medium-distance flights, typically between smaller cities or regional airports. Unlike larger commercial airliners, regional jets usually seat between 50 and 100 passengers. They are commonly used by regional airlines to connect less populated areas to major airline hubs, making it easier for travelers to access larger networks. These jets are known for their efficiency and ability to operate in airports with shorter runways, helping to enhance regional connectivity and support local economies.
