Jumbolino (RJ100 & RJ85) is a type that is a been used for over two decades in Switzerland.
In 1992 Europe's biggest regional airline Crossair was the launch customer of the RJ85 programme and in 1995 they aquired the larger RJ100.
Ever since Avro's have been flying with Swissair Express, Crossair and eventually Swiss.
Swissair and the whole SAirGroup faced a dramatic bankrupcy in 2001. Swissair merged with Crossair creating Swiss International Airlines, now known as 'SWISS'. Most aircraft were transferred to the new airline including both Avro RJ variants.
Swiss phased out their inherited Crossair RJ-85s already in 2008 but kept the RJ-100 in their fleet up to date. Over the years they even aquired some additional airframes from British Airways.
The RJ100 has been flying succesfully ever since.
From 2008 obwards these Avro RJ-100s were operated by a subsidary Swiss European Airlines . In early 2015 the airline was rebranded into Swiss Global Airlines. Swiss Global continues in the air with the Bombardier CS100/300 aka "the Avro killer" and Boeing 777.
