N291BC

This entry covers a single airframe, N291BC, an Embraer ERJ-145XR built in 2004 with manufacturer serial number 145782. The aircraft is owned by IBC AIRWAYS INC, a corporation based in Fort Lauderdale, FL, US, and is registered in the US registry. The airframe is equipped and maintained to a commercial regional standard for a 55-seat layout and is notable for its high-density seating configuration and typical Honeywell avionics fit.

The cabin of this specific ERJ-145XR is configured in a 55-seat regional single-aisle layout (high-density regional seating) tailored for short- to medium-haul regional services. Avionics are in a typical installation of the Honeywell Primus 1000, supporting standard commercial navigation, communication, and flight management tasks appropriate to the model. Operated by IBC AIRWAYS INC from its Fort Lauderdale, Florida base, this airframe’s mission profile centers on high-frequency regional routes where high-density seating and efficient regional performance are priorities. Maintenance considerations reflect the common requirements of the ERJ-145XR series—two Rolls-Royce AE 3007 turbofan engines and supporting lifecycle checks for a 2004-build regional jet—while cabin refurbishment cycles are driven by the high-density passenger-turnover environment.

The Embraer ERJ-145XR family occupies the regional jet niche for 50–60 seat operations, offering extended-range capability relative to earlier regional types and a certified ceiling of 37,000 ft. Competing models typically include other regional jets in the same seating class, with buyer and charter demand influenced by payload-range needs and operating economics tied to the AE 3007 engines and the airframe’s vintage. Resale and maintenance considerations for this 2004-built airframe center on engine life limits, avionics commonality such as the Honeywell Primus 1000, and the market appetite for high-density regional configurations.
