N245LR

This entry documents the specific airframe bearing tail number N245LR, a Bombardier CRJ-900LR (CL-600-2D24) completed in 2010 with manufacturer serial number 15234. The airframe was produced by Bombardier and is recorded as owned by Mesa Airlines, Inc.; Mesa is the listed corporate owner and presumed operator for the airframe's service history. No separate operator transfer or other registry events are published for this serial in the supplied data. Condition and formal valuation figures for this individual aircraft are not published in the provided dataset.

The airframe is configured in an airline regional passenger layout with approximately 76 seats, reflecting its intended role on short- to medium-haul regional networks operated under a U.S. registry (US). Avionics fit on this airframe is the Collins Pro Line 4 suite, supporting regional airline operational requirements including flight management, navigation, and standard airline communication systems. Typical mission profiles for this configuration include higher-frequency, point-to-point regional segments where the platform's 1,553 nm range and 447 kts cruise support multi-leg daily utilization out of a domestic operator base. Maintenance considerations for this specific CRJ-900LR center on CF34-8C5 engine shop visit cycles and avionics upgrades or component support for the Pro Line 4 suite as encountered in regional airline operations.

The Bombardier CRJ-900LR (CL-600-2D24) occupies a regional airliner niche offering subfleet commonality with other CRJ family types while extending range for longer regional sectors. Competing models in the same performance bracket include stretched regional jets from other manufacturers that prioritize similar seating (mid-70s) and regional mission flexibility. Market demand for this class typically derives from regional carriers seeking efficient short-field performance and reasonable seat count; resale and maintenance considerations focus on CF34 engine support, avionics lifecycle for the Collins Pro Line 4, and airframe hours accumulated since the 2010 build.
