Air Canada was one of the first three airlines in North America to introduce the 50-seat Bombardier Canadair Regional Jet CRJ-100 in the mid-1990s. The aircraft entered AC mainline service to expand AC's trans-border routes to the US and put laid off mainline pilots back to work. The AC CRJs were later transferred to Jazz Aviation, which also acquired CRJ100s and CRJ705s (76-seat CRJ900s) directly from Bombardier. This CRJ200, msn 7987, was delivered in Dec. 2004. The retirement date of the Jazz CRJ200 fleet was extended as a result of Covid-19. In Dec. 2021 C-FIJA was flying YYZ-CLE-YYZ.
