In July, 50-seat regional jets are scheduled to operate one in every 15 short-haul flights across the United States. The longest routes range from 2 hours and 27 minutes to 2 hours and 44 minutes in block time, with Houston Intercontinental to Oaxaca being the longest service.
Despite the continued presence of single-class ERJ140s/145s and CRJ100s/200s, as well as two/three-class CRJ550s, the usage of these jets has significantly declined in recent years. This decline is partly due to the scope clause agreement, which encourages a shift towards larger regional jets with better economics. In July 2024, only one out of every 15 short-haul flights will utilize these smaller aircraft.
Delta Connection was anticipated to phase out all its CRJ200s; however, a few remain in operation. These include N936EV from Detroit and N506CA from Salt Lake City.
