Before the largest airports became the only gateways most travellers noticed, thousands of smaller cities depended on a different kind of aircraft: the regional jet. Compact, fast, practical, and often controversial, these aircraft connected local airports to major hubs, turned thin routes into daily services, and made the airline map feel far more complete than it had been before.
The Regional Jet Era tells the story of the aircraft, airlines, contracts, airports, passengers, and communities behind this transformation. From early commuter airlines and turboprops to the rise of the CRJ and ERJ families, from Europe’s different regional aircraft story to the arrival of larger E-Jets, the book explains how small jets reshaped commercial aviation. It examines hub-and-spoke networks, regional airline branding, capacity purchase agreements, scope clauses, cost-per-seat problems, pilot shortages, environmental pressure, and the fragile future of small-city air service.
Clear, factual, and accessible, this book is written for aviation enthusiasts, travellers, students, airline-history readers, and anyone interested in how ordinary flights can carry extraordinary economic and social importance. It shows that regional jets were never merely smaller airliners. They were the aircraft that made many places visible on the map.
