Air Canada operates a versatile fleet, including the regional Embraer E175s and Bombardier CRJ900s, known for their unique inflight entertainment options. These jets, fitted with backseat screens, allow passengers to watch movies, TV shows, or track flight progress, a feature that sets Air Canada apart in North America for regional flights. Both aircraft types are flown by Jazz Aviation under the Air Canada Express brand and cater to numerous regional routes, some extending up to 1,500 miles.

The CRJ900s, converted from the CRJ705, have 76 seats with a 1-2 Business Class and 2-2 Economy Class configuration. The E175s have similar configurations, but with slightly more legroom in Business Class. Both types offer reclining seats, USB charging points, and backseat inflight entertainment across all classes.

Air Canada's regional jets serve 51 destinations in the US, providing a comfortable passenger experience with their extensive route network. The E175 covers the longest regional route at 1,513 miles from Montréal–Trudeau International Airport to Dallas/Fort Worth International Airport, closely followed by routes like Montreal to St. John's and others for the CRJ900.

While the E175 boasts efficiency and comfort, CRJ900s, despite older origins, continue to be integral for regional air travel, offering operational efficiency and reduced costs. Their limited production ended in 2021, while the E-Series continues to develop, focusing on fuel economy and passenger comfort.

Regional jets remain crucial in air travel, as they enable airlines to offer numerous flights due to lower costs and pilot wages, meeting the demands of smaller route markets. Challenges still exist, with some industry figures like United Airlines CEO Scott Kirby advocating for larger aircraft on longer routes. Nonetheless, Air Canada maintains a high standard across its fleet, poised for future upgrades to meet evolving industry demands.
