Description
This highly detailed Herpa Wings die-cast model represents a Crossair Avro RJ100 Jumbolino in the airline's distinctive livery. The model features the iconic white fuselage with red Swiss cross tail fin and "crossair" branding along the fuselage. Manufactured by Herpa under their Wings collection, this piece showcases excellent attention to detail including authentic markings, registration numbers, and the characteristic four-engine configuration of the RJ100. The model comes with registration and is part of Herpa's continuously updated series of current aircraft types and airlines.
The Avro RJ100, also known as the "Jumbolino," is a regional airliner developed by British Aerospace (later BAE Systems). With a length of 30.95 meters, wingspan of 26.34 meters, and height of 8.61 meters, this four-engine jet was designed for short to medium-haul routes. The RJ100 could accommodate up to 100 passengers and was popular among regional carriers for its reliability and performance on shorter runways. The aircraft's four engines mounted on the wings gave it excellent safety redundancy and made it particularly suitable for operations in mountainous regions like Switzerland.
🇨🇭 About the Airline
Crossair was a Swiss regional airline that operated from 1978 to 2002, serving as a regional partner to Swissair. Based in Basel, the airline built a strong reputation for connecting smaller European cities with major hubs. Known for its distinctive red and white livery featuring the Swiss cross, Crossair operated a modern fleet including the Avro RJ series. After Swissair's collapse in 2002, Crossair was transformed into Swiss International Air Lines (SWISS), which continues to operate today as Switzerland's flag carrier.
