N257PS

This airframe, registered as N257PS, is a Bombardier CRJ-200ER (CL-600-2B19) built in 2004 with manufacturer serial number 7939. It is owned by FRONTERA FLIGHT HOLDINGS INC, a corporate owner based in Dover, DE, US, and has been maintained in a regional airline high-utilization role consistent with its configuration and market placement. The aircraft’s U.S. registration and corporate ownership suggest operation under an operator or leasing arrangement typical of regional jet fleets; the transfer into corporate ownership marks the most recent notable registry action. Recorded avionics and cabin fit reflect standard regional-operator specifications and a high-density single-class seating arrangement.

The airframe is configured in a 55-seat single-class high-density regional layout (operator configuration) that is typical for short-haul, high-frequency routes. Avionics are specified as Collins / Rockwell Collins Pro Line-class (typical CRJ-200ER operator suites), supporting common regional airline navigation, communication and flight-management requirements. With a cruise speed of 424 kts and range of 1,345 nm, the aircraft was intended for short- to medium-range scheduled services and wet-lease or charter missions where passenger capacity and frequency are prioritized over long-range capability. Operational considerations for this specific airframe include standard CF34-3B1 maintenance cycles and regional high-utilization component management aligned with its corporate/operator base.

The Bombardier CRJ-200ER (CL-600-2B19) occupies the regional jet performance niche offering efficient, high-frequency short-haul service with seating around the 50–60 passenger class. Competitors historically include smaller variants of the Embraer ERJ/145 family and newer regional jets as fleets modernize. Buyer and charter demand for a 2004-built CRJ-200ER centers on cost-conscious operators and lessors seeking proven short-haul capability, while maintenance and resale considerations focus on CF34 series engine lifecycle, avionics obsolescence mitigation, and airframe hours typical of high-cycle regional service.
