Originally known as the MD95, the Boeing 717 was first delivered in 1999 and designed for the 100seat market. In fact, the 717 wasn’t actually built by Boeing. Rather, it was an aircraft developed by competitor McDonnell Douglas. However, Boeing adopted the aircraft into its portfolio when it acquired McDonnell Douglas in 1997.
