Regional Jet (RJ)

A Regional Jet (RJ) is a smaller passenger aircraft typically used by airlines for short to medium routes within a specific region. They usually seat between 50 to 100 passengers, making them ideal for connecting smaller cities to larger hubs or serving routes with lower passenger demand. RJs are more efficient for shorter trips compared to larger jets, providing quick turnaround times and cost-effective operations. They are operated by regional airlines or as part of a larger airline’s regional network, helping connect communities and expand the airline’s reach efficiently.
