I need help finding a great regional jet for the year 2013.

[HanTseng]

ATR 42-600 or ATR 72-600. I'm using a lot of Air New Zealand and for Eva Air before (Only ATR 72).

 

Or, use the Bombardier Q400.

Those are low capacity ones... I'm looking at the Bombadier C Series are they any good?

C series fuel flow seems best of the class if it performs as advertised (see A332 vs 788 thread for that). It's priced fairly sensibly as well unlike the NEOs...

[Marb1]

C series

CRJ-100EL

All ATRs

Thanks for the reply. Will try them out.

C series

CRJ-100EL

All ATRs

Okay will try it out.

I'd say the ERJ-190 and -195, C-Series, the ATRs, and also Concorde. Don't forget the Concorde.

E-Jets, CRJ-Series, C-Series, and ATRs

I'd actually recommend you the E-Jets. They're the best for my airlines. I mean, the C-Series is OK, but I don't like it as much. Plus the E-Jet makes a ton of $$ and is pretty good. The Q400 is another good option if you're looking at smaller planes.

Regional is a wide term:

 

Date: 2013

Range ?

Pax ?

Range is usually recommended at 1500-2000 for regional planes. Passengers was already stated at preferably greater than 70 passengers, and the limit for passengers in a regional plane is 110-120 passengers.

[5280_Av8r]

CRJ700

E170

E175

 

It really depends on the regional airport and how much demand there is

 

Some may only have demand for the smaller propeller planes, some may have greater demand where the bigger Embraers are better.

 

I honestly wouldn't serve a regional airport that needs a plane smaller than the CRJ700, but that's me. It also depends on the type of airline you're running. Depends what the business model is.

[Whirligig]

I recommend the Q400 because it base the speed and performance of a CRJ, and the operation cost of an ATR or another turboprop. It's the best of both worlds.

Using your criteria those could be the best planes:

ATR ATR-72-600
Antonov An-10A
Embraer EMB 190 LR
Embraer EMB 190 STD
BAE Systems Avro RJ85
