Information

The BAe 146/Avro RJ was made specific for short and difficult runways (e.g. Vágar Airport in the Faroe Islands) which else only could be served by propel-aircrafts, and at the same time lift more goods/more pax than a propel plane can carry. This also explains its a bit different look compared to many other aircrafts. Furthermore the BAe 146/Avro RJ has a very quiet operation, which makes it optimal for noise restricted city airports, e.g. London City Airport.
