This is an overview of the types of regional aircraft operated by regional airlines of the world. To limit the list, only airlines that are associated with major airlines (via a brand or ownership) are included. Only aircraft types that are currently in operation are shown, except where noted. Each block represents a "subfleet", that is one aircraft type operated by one regional airline as a specific regional brand.

This table shows the diversity of the US regional airline industry. Fourteen aircraft types are operated by 17 regional airlines for the four "major" airlines.

American Eagle is opeated by the most subfleets, at 20. United Express is operated by 17 subfleets. Delta Connection is operated by 14 subfleets.

United Express is operated by the rarest aircraft types. The Saab 340, Q300, ATR 42, and ERJ-135 all operate only as United Express. American Eagle's ERJ-140 subfleet is the only other sole-operated aircraft type, and they are due for retirement soon.

The CRJ family is clearly the overwhelming favorite at the moment, 25 subfleets (9 -200, 10 -700, and 6 -900). Although the current trend is removal of most CRJ-200s, and an increase in E-175 fleets, which is up to 10.

Most regional airlines have focused on one aircraft type or one aircraft family: Horizon, and CommutAir operate Dash 8 family aircraft only. Silver Airways operates only Saab 340s and Cape Air operates only ATR 72s. Trans States operates only ERJ-145s. PSA Airlines, Endeavor Air, Air Wisconsin, and GoJet all operate CRJ family aircraft only. Shuttle America, Compass Airlines, and Republic Airlines all operate E-Jet family aircraft only.

Not surprisingly, Canada's regional airlines prefer home-made Bombardier aircraft.
