When a Houston group runs past nineteen passengers, the trip moves into airliner-size aircraft and a different set of FAA rules. The Bombardier CRJ-200 sits in airliner-size territory, which changes the rules the trip runs under.
Bombardier Aerospace introduced the Bombardier CRJ-200 in 1996. For VIP / executive conversion see bombardier-crj-200-vip.

Why the Bombardier CRJ-200 Fits Houston
Bush Intercontinental has the runway and the ground handling for aircraft this size, which is not true of every Houston field.
At 1,645 nautical miles published, and allowing for reserves, a Houston departure reaches Las Vegas, Los Angeles, and New York without a stop. The operator’s own performance figures for the day are what actually govern this, not the brochure range.

Vetting Behind Every Trip
Every operator, aircraft, and crew goes through our internal due diligence before we present any options. Our internal standards meet or exceed what the FAA requires:
- 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.
