The North American & European market for turboprops & RJs, issue 82 Jun/Jul 2012
Issue 82 Jun/Jul 2012
The market for turboprops and regional jets in North America and Europe has shown significant changes since 2000. Scope clauses led to a boom in 50-seat regional jet deliveries in the early-2000s, replacing many small turboprops in the process. Subsequent relaxation of these has allowed larger RJs to enter the market. Turboprops are also making a comeback.
