The CRJ-200 is a 50-seat jet manufactured in Canada by Bombardier and has a cruising speed of 484 mph (780 km/hr). The range of the aircraft is 1,305 miles and it has a cruise altitude of 35,000 feet. The aircraft will be Calgary-based and is now available for charter work.

"The speed and range of this aircraft provides even more options for our customers to travel where they want and when they want. Our private charter services are dedicated to providing transportation that meets the demands of our busy clientele."
