About the Avro RJ100
The RJ100 is the longest of the RJ70, RJ85 and RJ100 models in the manufacturer’s technical guide. Brussels Airlines had 12 RJ100s at its founding, and the last Avro in its fleet was an RJ100 registered OO-DWD.
Seating capacity
BAE Systems published examples with 103 seats in a five-across arrangement and 110 seats in a six-across arrangement. The seat count on a particular aircraft depended on the operator’s layout.
Cabin layout
The cabin has one aisle. The five-across layout puts two seats on one side and three on the other. The six-across layout puts three seats on each side. The technical guide describes galleys and lavatories at both ends of the cabin.
How to recognize an Avro RJ100
Look for a high wing with two jet engines under each side, a T-tail and a long fuselage. Shorter Avro RJ models and the related BAe 146 share much of that silhouette. Check the registration and full model designation for confirmation.
Variants and related aircraft
ICAO lists the Avroliner RJ100 under RJ1H. The shorter RJ85 and RJ70 have their own designators. The BAe 146-300 is a related aircraft with a different type code.
