In its primary role, it serves as a regional jet, short-haul airliner, or regional airliner, while examples of the type are also in use as private jets. The BAe 146 was produced in -100, -200 and -300 models. The equivalent Avro RJ versions are designated RJ70, RJ85, and RJ100.

The Avro RJ series are upgraded developments of the BAe-146 family (see separate entry), and like the 146 was built in three fuselage length variants, the RJ70, RJ85 and RJ100. In 1990 British Aerospace first offered the improved RJ70 and RJ80, both of which were based on the 146-100.

2024年5月16日 · Today, only around a quarter of the RJ series aircraft that Avro produced in the 1990s and 2000s are operational today, with data from ch-aviation showing that just 45 are currently listed as active at 14 different operators. Starting off small, the RJ70 model is now incredibly rare, accounting for just two of the family's remaining active ...

The Avro RJ family combines main line passenger accommodation with high performance to provide unmatched operating potential for both major and regional operators. With complete commonality across the three fuselage length family, Avro RJ customers can optimise regional jet operations to maximise revenue at minimal cost.
