CRJ700 vs L-410 NG
The CRJ700 leads, topping 5 of 7 compared metrics.
Put the Bombardier Aviation CRJ700 (introduced 2001) beside the Aircraft Industries (LET) L-410 NG (introduced 2018) and the trade-offs sharpen fast. Both are regional, which makes them natural cross-shopping rivals. The clearest separation between them is cabin capacity, where the CRJ700 carries more passengers. The spec-by-spec breakdown below is followed by a mission-fit read and a buyer's recommendation.

CRJ700 vs L-410 NG: the key differences
- The CRJ700 delivers 72% more range (CRJ700: 1,378 nm; L-410 NG: 800 nm).
- The CRJ700 delivers 115% more cruise speed (CRJ700: 473 kt; L-410 NG: 220 kt).
- The CRJ700 delivers 311% more passenger capacity (CRJ700: 78 seats; L-410 NG: 19 seats).
- The L-410 NG is the newer design (introduced 2018 versus 2001 for the CRJ700), a gap of 17 years that usually shows up in avionics, cabin systems and fuel burn.
- The CRJ700 is the larger aircraft by maximum takeoff weight (75,000 lbs versus 15,873 lbs), which typically buys more cabin and payload at the cost of higher trip economics.
Which mission suits which aircraft
The CRJ700 is the stronger fit for regional and short-to-medium legs — its 1,378 nm of range removes fuel stops on those legs. The L-410 NG, at 800 nm, is better matched to short-haul and regional hops, where lower trip cost counts for more than outright reach. If most of your flying sits inside the L-410 NG's range, the CRJ700's extra capability is range you pay to carry but rarely use.
Which should you choose?
On published specifications the CRJ700 leads on both range and cabin capacity, so it suits operators who want maximum mission flexibility from a single airframe. The L-410 NG can still be the smarter buy on acquisition cost, operating economics, runway performance, or current availability — the factors that rarely show up in a spec sheet. Our acquisition advisory team can model both against your actual mission profile before you commit.
