An FAA statement said a PSA Airlines regional jet collided midair with a Sikorsky helicopter. Here’s what to know about the airline.

The type of jet involved in the crash was built by Canadian-based Bombardier as part of a line of smaller regional jets.

Here is a photo of a standard PSA Airlines Bombardier CRJ700 series regional jet, from the American Airlines website. According to a brochure from Bombardier CRJ Series, the jet can hold up to 78 people. Per a flight manifest, American Eagle Flight 5342 from Wichita, Kansas had 60 passengers and four crew on board.

The CRJ700 is a regional jet frequently used on short- to medium-haul flights. Reagan airport handles about 1,200 flights a day, almost all of which are limited to less than 1,300 miles because of the airport’s perimeter rule.

The Army helicopter and regional American Airlines jet that collided over Washington are both workhorse aircraft that operate around the world on a daily basis.

The airliner involved in the DCA crash came into service 20 years ago and averaged around 50 flights per year.
