The Bombardier CRJ700, CRJ900, and CRJ1000 are a family of regional jet airliners that were designed and manufactured by Canadian transportation conglomerate Bombardier (formerly Canadair) between 1999 and 2020. Their design was derived from the smaller CRJ100 and 200, the other members of the Bombardier CRJ aircraft family. 

The CRJ700 is a stretched derivative of the CRJ200. The CRJ700 features a new wing with leading-edge slats and a stretched and slightly widened fuselage, with a lowered floor. Its first flight took place in 1999. The CRJ700 first entered commercial in 2001.

With a seating range from 63 to 78, the CRJ700 was built in three variants (standard, ER, and LR) with different fuel/weight options. The executive version is marketed as the Challenger 870. The CRJ700 directly competes with the Embraer 170, which typically seats 70 passengers.

The CRJ900 Regional Jet Series 900 is a stretched 76- to 90-seat version of the CRJ700. The CRJ-1000 accomodates up to 104 seats but it also has a different type-rating.
