AIRCRAFT 20 Aircraft In 2005 the number of passenger aircraft in service with US regional airlines declined by 2.9 percent to 2,676 compared to 2004. The decline was highlighted by a reduction in 50-seat regional jets. as the major airlines rationalized short-haul service. The average passenger seat capacity of regional aircraft grew from 39.9 seats in 2004 to 40.4 in 2005, a slight 1.3 percent increase. While the average passenger trip length increased 4.6 percent to 437 miles, average annual utilization per aircraft increased 12.3 percent to 2,682 hours in 2005. The 2005 figure represents the highest utilization rate in the past 10 years. Although declining in size by 8.1 percent, the turboprop aircraft fleet of 683 aircraft continued to play a very critical role in 2005, providing service to many small and medium size communities. The turboprops were 26 percent of the fleet in service at the end of the year. The regional jet fleet increased to 61 percent of the regional airline fleet as compared to 52 percent the previous year. At the end of 2005, there were 1,620 regional jets in service as compared to 1,628 in 2004. Regional jets accounted for 88.4 percent of the revenue passenger miles flown by the regional airline industry as compared to 60 percent a year earlier. Aircraft operated under Federal Aviation Regulation Part 121 (those aircraft with 10 or more passenger seats operated in scheduled service) accounted for 83 percent of the US regional airline fleet, a 0.5 percent decrease over the previous year. Aircraft operating under these rules provided 97 percent of the industry’s revenue passenger miles. RAA 2006 Annual Report The Bombardier CRJ100/200 series accounted for the largest percentage of the industry fleet with 636 aircraft, the CRJ700 added another 203 units and the CRJ900 introduced 38 more to the manufacturer’s regional jet total of 877 aircraft. Bombardier turboprop aircraft, the Dash 8-100/200 Series, accounted for an additional 110 aircraft raising the company’s fleet share to 51.3 percent. Embraer’s market presence increased with 717 regional jets (ERJ135/140/145/170s) and 73 turboprops (Embraer Brasilias) capturing 37.4 percent of the total fleet seats. Other turboprop manufacturers ranked accordingly, the Saab 340 at 4 percent of the total fleet seats with 121 units, the ATR 72 with a 3.3 percent share flying 52 aircraft and the Beech 1900 flying 144 units and a 2.7 percent share. Transportation of cargo has become important to the bottom line of many regional airlines and the size and sophistication of the all-cargo fleet reflects this trend. The number of aircraft utilized solely for cargo carriage increasing this year to 1,571 aircraft compared to 1,555 in 2004. Turboprop aircraft continued to dominate the cargo industry, accounting for 59 percent of the fleet. The Cessna Caravan led the fleet with 356 aircraft, down slightly from the 376 operated in 2004.
