The development of the Boeing 717 traces its roots back to the early 1990s when McDonnell Douglas began work on a new regional jet to compete with the growing market demand for smaller, more efficient aircraft. McDonnell Douglas, a major aerospace company, was known for its production of military aircraft, commercial airliners, and spacecraft.

The Boeing 717 was designed as a short-haul airliner, capable of carrying approximately 100 passengers in a typical two-class configuration. It featured advanced aerodynamics and efficient engines, making it suitable for regional routes with relatively low passenger volumes. The aircraft had a range of around 2,060 nautical miles (3,815 km) and was popular among airlines operating shorter flights.

The Boeing 717 entered commercial service in 1999, following its certification by aviation authorities. The first customer to receive the 717 was AirTran Airways, an American low-cost airline. Over the years, several airlines around the world incorporated the 717 into their fleets, appreciating its fuel efficiency and passenger comfort on regional routes.

Despite its positive attributes, the Boeing 717 faced challenges in the market due to the rise of regional jets with fewer seats, like the Embraer E-Jet series and Bombardier CRJ series. In addition, airlines started to shift their focus towards larger, more economical aircraft to streamline their fleets. Consequently, Boeing decided to cease production of the 717 in 2006, marking the end of an era for this particular aircraft model.

While the Boeing 717's production span was relatively short-lived, the aircraft left a lasting impact on the aviation industry. Its design innovations influenced future regional jet models, and some airlines still operate the 717 on various routes, showcasing its enduring reliability and efficiency.
