N284JB

This airframe, registered as N284JB, is an Embraer 190AR (ERJ-190-100IGW) built in 2008 with manufacturer's serial number 19000144. The airframe is the property of BANK OF UTAH TRUSTEE, a corporate trustee based in Salt Lake City, UT, US, and is registered in the US as a fixed-wing multi-engine airplane. As operated, the aircraft carries a single-class, high-density configuration reflecting its role in scheduled low-cost carrier service; registry records note trustee ownership rather than direct airline title. Routine registry actions list the aircraft in U.S. civil registers with typical commercial operating status and operator-based configuration changes recorded during lease or operator transitions.

The airframe is fitted in a single-class high-density layout (Y100) as operated by JetBlue, emphasizing short- to medium-haul high-capacity turnarounds on domestic and near-international routes. Avionics are the typical Embraer E190 fit of Honeywell Primus Epic, supporting modern airline operations, avionics continuity across fleet and maintenance commonality. With 100 seats and a 2,450 nm range, the aircraft is optimized for dense trunk routes and frequent-rotation schedules; maintenance considerations focus on airframe cycles and engine shop visits for the two GE CF34-10E6 turbofans. The trustee ownership structure suggests the airframe may have been placed with a leasing or financing arrangement while operated by an airline.

The Embraer 190AR (ERJ-190-100IGW) occupies a niche as a 100-seat regional/short-haul jet offering higher capacity than regional jets while retaining single-aisle operational flexibility. With cruise speeds around 470 kts and a service ceiling near 41,000 ft, it competes with narrow-body derivatives in markets requiring 80–110 seats and lower trip cost. Demand among airlines and lessors typically centers on dense domestic routes and regional feed operations; resale and maintenance considerations emphasize airframe cycles, CF34 engine overhaul schedules, and the economic impacts of high-density cabin conversions such as the Y100 layout.
