The Boeing 717 is an American twin-engine, single-aisle jet airliner, developed for the 100-seat market. The airliner was designed by McDonnell Douglas as the MD-95, a third-generation derivative of the DC-9, which was first introduced in 1965. After McDonnell Douglas and Boeing merged in 1997, the airliner was redesignated Boeing 717 and produced by Boeing's Commercial Airplane division.
The model took its first order in October 1995 and entered service in September 1999. Production ceased in May 2006 after 156 airplanes were produced, ending a long history of commercial aircraft assembly at the former Douglas facility in Long Beach, California.
