Short haul
Encyclopedia
The following is a list of commercial short-haul civilian passenger "jet airliners," recent, operating, or proposed. These include early generation turbojet, fanjet, and turbofan
powered aircraft designed for none transoceanic intercontinental routes operations or flights.
For short haul pertaining in relation to hours in flight, see: Flight length
The following aircraft are generally considered among the class of "Regional jets" rather than short-haul airliners, but have been included upon this list despite the redundancy. These aircraft are never flown by "mainline airlines
" or "legacy airline carriers" in the U.S., but may turn up in the a "legacy" or "mainlines" wholly owned regional airline subsidiaries fleet. Some "Flag airline carriers
" in other parts of the world have included "regional jets" among their "flagship fleets".
The following short-haul airliners, have turned up at "mainline airline carriers
" in the U.S. and Canada, as well as many "low-cost carriers" and even "Flag airlines" across the world, but as yet have not found a place or a home with the "seemingly perpetually struggling mainline operations at the big legacy carrier
s" in the United States.
