With a practical range of up to 1,600 nautical miles, the Avro RJ85 is designed for regional and medium-haul flights, comfortably connecting city pairs such as London to Madrid, Paris to Rome, or New York to Dallas on a single tank. Its 460-knot high-speed cruise ensures swift journeys, while the RJ85’s short-field capability means it can operate into airports with runways as short as 4,900 feet—making it ideal for routes into urban centers and remote destinations alike. | The RJ85’s unique four-engine configuration delivers both power and redundancy, supporting impressive climb performance and dependable operations even from airports with steep approaches or noise restrictions. Its ability to land and take off from challenging fields grants access to a wider range of destinations compared to conventional airliners, reducing total travel time and maximizing itinerary flexibility for large groups. | For charter travelers, the result is a seamless, efficient experience—bypassing major hubs, arriving closer to final destinations, and enjoying a level of convenience unattainable on scheduled commercial flights.

The cabin is equipped with large panoramic windows, ample overhead storage, and advanced soundproofing for a quieter, more relaxing journey. | Onboard amenities can include in-flight entertainment, catering options, and dedicated lavatories, with many RJ85s offering recent refurbishments and luxury finishes to suit discerning travelers. The 14 cubic foot baggage hold is ideal for group luggage, sports equipment, or touring gear, while attentive cabin crew ensure a seamless in-flight experience from takeoff to landing.
