Regional airliners seat fewer than 100 passengers. These smaller aircraft are often used to feed traffic at large airline hubs to larger aircraft operated by the major mainline carriers, legacy carriers, or flag carriers; often sharing the same livery.

Light aircraft can be used as small commuter airliners, or as air taxis. These are generally single or twin engine turboprops carrying up to 19 passengers. Due to their small size they often lack lavatories, stand-up cabins, pressurization, galleys, overhead storage bins, reclining seats, or a flight attendant.
