What were common regional jets used in Canada during the 1960s?
I’m hoping that maybe an airline history buff out there can help me. I’m trying to figure out what planes were typically used as regional jets during the 1960s in Canada. This would include twin-engine, single aisle jet airliners with a passenger capacity between 20 and 100. Essentially, I’m trying to find an equivalent of the McDonnell Douglas DC-9, Yak-40, Sud Aviation SE 210 Caravelle, Fokker F28 or BAC One-Eleven that was DEFINETELY used by Canadian airlines in the 1960s to early 1970s.
Answer:
Canadians airlines have used B737, DC-9, BAC 111 and Fokker during that time frame, but nothing else, and those jet airliners were referred to as "short range", rather than regional jet. The concept (and name) regional jet originates from the late 1980's, when Canadair, recently acquired by Bombardier, derived the RJ100 from the Challenger business aircraft. Until then, and with the exception of the previously mentioned short haul aircraft, airplanes of around 50 passenger were exclusively propeller driven aircraft.
