Houston sports, energy, and government groups use VIP airliners when everyone has to arrive on the same aircraft at the same time. The Bombardier CRJ-200 VIP sits in airliner-size territory, which changes the rules the trip runs under.
Bombardier Aerospace introduced the Bombardier CRJ-200 VIP in 1996. VIP / ExecLiner conversion of CRJ-200 airframe.

Why the Bombardier CRJ-200 VIP Fits Houston
For a Houston corporate group or sports roster traveling together, it is the aircraft that keeps everyone on one departure.
The published 1,645 nautical miles covers Las Vegas, Los Angeles, and New York nonstop out of Houston once you allow for winds and reserves. How much you are carrying and what the winds are doing will move that, which the operator calculates per trip.

- FAR Part 135 charter operators for traditional private aircraft, or FAR Part 121 for airliner-size and group trips (or the foreign equivalent on international legs)
- Operator subscription to Wyvern and ARGUS reviewed where the operator participates.
- Pilot experience and operator incident history reviewed before we recommend an aircraft.
- Fewer than 60 brokers worldwide hold Premium Wyvern Broker Member status, and Air Charter Advisors is one of them.
