The best testimony of how successful Bombardier CRJ 700-series models are is a fact that somewhere in the world one of them take off or lands every 10 seconds. Designed as a response to Fokker 70 and Embraer E-series, CRJ 700 started as a mid-size regional airliner with 70 seats. Later, additional versions were made, namely CRJ 900 with 90 and CRJ 1000 with 1000 seats. This made the CRJ 700 series highly adaptable and versatile, making it one of the most successful regional jets in Nort America, where they constitute some 20% of all jet departures.
