Where Does the Boeing 717 Fly? - October 2013 Network Update

When Boeing acquired McDonnell Douglas the future of its MD-95 programme was in serious doubt. However, Boeing stuck with the project with the belief there was a sufficient demand for a 120-seat aircraft and relaunched the jet as the Boeing 717. Unfortunately, it was much heavier than many of the new regional jet arrivals in the 100- to 120-seat market and never really fulfilled its potential. Although only 156 aircraft were delivered when production ended in May 2006, the type continues to be used across the globe with US major, Delta Air Lines, the latest customer for the type.

Every month The HUB will provide an update on the current Boeing 717 flight schedule and the routes the aircraft is being deployed upon. This list for October 2013 was compiled from OAG Analyser on October 1, 2013 and changes to planned routes are likely. In the table below we also feature the Boeing 717 network size of each operator and the top destinations served by the aircraft. Our latest analysis shoes that Boeing 717 air capacity fell 0.5 per cent in October 2013 versus September 2013.
