AVRO RJ85
The AVRO RJ85 is a regional jet celebrated for its versatility, reliability, and operational efficiency. Manufactured by British Aerospace, the RJ85 is part of the BAe 146 family and is designed to excel in regional and short-haul operations. Known for its exceptional short takeoff and landing capabilities and spacious cabin, the RJ85 is an ideal choice for private charters, corporate travel, and group transportation. Its four-engine configuration ensures reliability, making it well-suited for operations in diverse environments.
Performance Capabilities
The AVRO RJ85 is designed to deliver exceptional performance for regional travel. It is powered by four Honeywell LF 507 turbofan engines, enabling it to achieve a cruising speed of 424 knots (785 km/h) and a maximum range of 1,800 nautical miles. This range allows the RJ85 to connect cities and regional hubs without refueling, making it a practical solution for short to medium-haul flights.
One of the RJ85’s standout features is its short takeoff and landing (STOL) capability, which allows it to operate from runways as short as 4,500 feet. This enables access to smaller airports and remote locations, providing unparalleled flexibility for private charters. Additionally, the aircraft’s robust design ensures reliable operations even in high-altitude or challenging weather conditions.
Interior and Comfort Details

For private charters, the interior can be reconfigured to seat 50 to 70 passengers in a VIP layout, providing ample room and luxurious amenities.
The cabin dimensions—70.3 feet in length, 11.6 feet in width, and 6.5 feet in height—offer generous headroom and legroom, ensuring a comfortable travel experience. Large windows allow natural light to fill the cabin, enhancing the ambiance and providing scenic views during flight.
The RJ85 also features ample baggage storage, including both overhead compartments and a spacious cargo hold. This ensures sufficient capacity for passengers’ luggage, equipment, or other specialized cargo. For added comfort, the cabin includes climate control systems and noise-dampening technology, creating a quiet and relaxing environment for travelers.
