Bombardier is the architect of the modern regional jet era, a Canadian innovator that transformed how we connect smaller cities across the globe. By pioneering the Canadair Regional Jet (CRJ) series, Bombardier essentially created the market for fast, jet-powered travel on routes previously served only by slower turboprops. The CRJ family, from the original -100 to the high-capacity -1000, became the backbone of regional networks for major airlines worldwide, prized for its speed, reliability, and low operating costs. Beyond the CRJ, Bombardier's legacy includes the versatile Dash 8 turboprops and the large CSeries (now the Airbus A220), a great example of the company's commitment to pushing the boundaries of regional and mid-market aviation. Even as its commercial programs transition to new owners, the "Bombardier" name remains synonymous with the jet-powered regional revolution.
