Pinnacle to TOL -shortest route flown by CRJ?
 
Pinnacle is again flying DTW-TOL. Looks like appx. 60 miles. Would this be the shortest route flown by a CRJ? Looks like Mesaba is flying it using the Saabs.

I thought the old CLT-HKY run (CC Air [ US Airways Express ] ) was a short flight - it was about 12 minutes one-way and about 53 miles in distance from CLT.

Don't know who else does it, but ORD-MKE is only 59NM, something like 67 SM. It's probably our shortest flight, however, after the delays are built in, it takes longer than it would have to drive, at least for most people.

Definitely not the shortest! I can think of a few shorter ones...

CVG-DAY 55nm
ORD-MKE 58 nm

CVG-DAY is served by most DCI carriers is approx 49 sm

according to City Distance Tool - Find the distance between 2 cities...

gear up; gear down

I've done DAY-CVG in 17 minutes! Depart 24L. Turn left heading 210 and join CVG Rwy 18R localizer. Block time was around 33 minutes :) I got paid $18 for that flight (2nd yr pay). Score!!

Does a thru flight count? AWAC used to do lga-phf-orf. The phf-orf leg was a little over 20 miles.

What were you guys snoozin!? haha j/k
well before we were getting Block or Better (when it really didn't matter) we did a SW T/o out of DAY to a 18L landing in 12 minutes! Of course we were 2 hours late and missed the big arrival bank, but lots of work in the cockpit.. nothing like logging a .4 block line in the old logbook..

XJet used to do IAH to CLL along with Colgan Saabs. CAL finally got smart and decided a 145 is not best suited for a 63 mile flight and now it is only a Saab run, 8 times a day

Skywest use to do ONT-LAX. I'm not sure if we still do. We still have MRY-SFO and SMF-SFO.
