Used Aircraft Purchased To Modernize AirVolga Fleet
Bombardier Aerospace welcomes AirVolga (Volga AviaExpress) of
Volgograd, Russia to the CRJ aircraft family. At a news conference
Friday in Volgograd, the airline announced that it is preparing to
start service with two previously owned CRJ200 LR regional jets
acquired from a third party. AirVolga has stated that the CRJ200 LR
aircraft are part of a strategy to modernize its fleet, and that
they may acquire additional previously owned Bombardier 50-seat
regional jets.

the CRJ200 LR aircraft will initially fly within Russia, and to
Armenia, Turkey and the United Arab Emirates.
Powered by two General Electric CF34-3B1 turbofan engines,
AirVolga’s CRJ200 LR aircraft can cruise at speeds up to Mach
0.81 (534 mph), with a maximum range with 50 passengers of 1,752
miles. The aircraft are certified to fly up to an altitude of
41,000 feet. The CRJ200 aircraft’s excellent operating
economics and the benefits of commonality within the CRJ aircraft
family provide customers with operational flexibility and cost
savings potential.
Launched in March 1989, Bombardier’s CRJ Series family of
airliners is now the world’s bestselling regional aircraft
program, and has recorded 1,688 firm orders from more than 50
customers in Africa, the Americas, the Asia-Pacific region, Europe
and the Middle East. As of April 30, 2009, Bombardier had delivered
1,542 CRJ Series (including 1,021 CRJ100/200/440) aircraft to
customers.
