Overview
The Bombardier CRJ705 was a unique derivative of the CRJ900, created to fit strict scope clause limitations by offering fewer seats while retaining the performance and range of its larger sibling. It entered service as a premium-configured regional jet, giving airlines a way to offer business-class cabins on routes normally flown by smaller aircraft. However, as scope clause rules evolved and operators shifted priorities, the CRJ705’s niche became unnecessary. Production ended and most customers eventually transitioned to the more flexible and widely supported CRJ900, leaving the CRJ705 as a short-lived but notable step in the development of Bombardier’s regional jet family.
