N12540

This entry documents airframe N12540, an Embraer-built regional jet completed in 2001 with manufacturer serial number 145537. The airframe is a Embraer ERJ-145LR produced by Embraer S.A. and is registered in the US. Ownership is held by DULUX PUBLIC CHARTER LLC, a Dallas, Texas–based limited liability company; the current record reflects that single corporate ownership and base of operations. The aircraft is configured and maintained as a 50-seat regional transport with records indicating standard service and operational status consistent with active charter service.

The aircraft is outfitted in a single-aisle 50-seat regional layout (Y50) intended for short- to medium-range charter or scheduled regional missions. Typical mission profiles for this airframe include multi-sector regional operations within the stated 1,550 nm range and cruise at approximately 447 kts, operating from the owner’s Dallas, TX base. Specific avionics suite details are not published for this individual airframe; maintenance considerations reflect the twin-engine configuration with in-service engine model Rolls‑Royce AE 3007A1P support and parts logistics consistent with commercial regional-jet support networks. Cabin amenities adhere to a high-density regional configuration rather than a long‑range business interior.

The Embraer ERJ-145LR represented here occupies the regional 50-seat segment and is optimized for point-to-point regional services with a maximum operational ceiling of 37,000 ft and a practical range of 1,550 nm. In the marketplace, this family competes with other regional jets and turbofan commuter aircraft for charter and regional operator demand, driven by seating capacity and operating economics. Resale and maintenance considerations for this airframe reflect aging regional-jet market dynamics and the ongoing need for component support for the AE 3007A1P engines and airframe-specific systems.
