Who flies the Bombardier CRJ-700
Two questions in one table. Airframes is what each carrier reported owning in its US DOT fleet filing; seats flown is how much of the type it actually operated. They can rank differently, and the gap is the interesting part.
| Operator | ||||
|---|---|---|---|---|
| SkyWest AirlinesOO | 141 | 9.8M | 54.8% | 13.6 yr |
| PSA AirlinesOH | 61 | 5.6M | 31.3% | 20.3 yr |
| Endeavor Air9E | 20 | 2.5M | 13.9% | 23.2 yr |
| GoJet AirlinesG7 | 56 | — | — | 7.5 yr |
Airframes are the latest Form 41 filing; seats flown and share are US DOT T-100 for the type's most-flown operators — a dash means a carrier isn't among them (a freighter operator, or one that flies fewer).
How old is the US Bombardier CRJ-700 fleet?
Age is measured from each airframe's delivery date — the FAA airworthiness date where available, otherwise the manufacturer's. Bars share a fixed scale across every fleet page, so two carriers can be compared directly.
