Status

In service

The British Aerospace Jetstream 41 is a twin-turboprop regional airliner developed as a stretched and significantly improved derivative of the earlier Jetstream 31. Designed to carry up to 29 passengers, it features a pressurized fuselage, stand-up cabin headroom improvements over its predecessor, and modern avionics suited to short-haul regional operations. The aircraft entered service in the early 1990s and was produced at the Prestwick facility in Scotland. Production ended in 1997 after approximately 100 aircraft were built, with British Aerospace later becoming part of BAE Systems. The type found particular success with regional carriers in the United Kingdom, Europe, and the United States. The Jetstream 41 offered operators improved payload and range compared to the Jetstream 31, along with better fuel efficiency per seat. Though no longer in production, a number of examples remain in service with smaller regional operators worldwide.

Notable operators

Major operators included British Airways (operated by franchise partners), Eastern Airways, and several US regional carriers such as Atlantic Southeast Airlines.

Encyclopaedia

The British Aerospace Jetstream 41 is a turboprop-powered feederliner and regional airliner, designed by British Aerospace as a stretched version of the Jetstream 31. Intended to compete directly with 30-seat aircraft like the Embraer Brasilia, Dornier 328 and Saab 340, the new design eventually accommodated 29 passengers in a two-by-one arrangement like the Jetstream 31. Trans States Airlines of the US was the biggest operator of Jetstream 41s in the world, with 25 in the fleet.
