N456ZW

This entry covers airframe N456ZW, a regional jet built as a Bombardier CRJ-200ER (CL-600-2B19) by Bombardier Aerospace in 2003 with manufacturer serial number 7849. The aircraft is registered in the US and is owned by Air Wisconsin Airlines LLC, a corporation based in Appleton, Wisconsin; the operator relationship places the airframe in the regional feeder role typical of the type. N456ZW has been maintained in operator hands rather than entering long-term storage or third-party leasing records, and registry entries reflect continuous commercial operation under the current corporate owner. Condition and valuation highlights are operator-maintained, with maintenance and configuration tailored to a 50-seat regional transport mission.

The cabin on N456ZW follows a typical 50-seat single-class regional layout configured by the operator, offering the standard dense seating and galley/door arrangements that support short-haul regional schedules. Avionics aboard the airframe are fitted with Collins Pro Line (varies by operator, commonly Pro Line 4) suites, consistent with many CRJ-200ER examples and supporting regional operations with integrated communications, navigation, and flight management capabilities. Typical missions for this airframe include short- to medium-haul scheduled flights between primary hubs and regional airports, where the aircraft’s range of 1,345 nm and cruise speed of 424 kts allow efficient sector turnarounds. Maintenance considerations reflect CF34 turbofan support and airframe checks aligned with a 50-seat regional utilization profile.

The Bombardier CRJ-200ER (CL-600-2B19) family occupies the regional jet niche for 50-seat operations, offering performance suitable for high-frequency short-haul routes with a service ceiling of 41,000 ft and reliable CF34 powerplants. Competing models in the same market era include stretched turbofan regional types and newer 70–90 seat regional jets that have shifted demand; nonetheless, the CRJ-200ER continues to see operator demand from regional carriers and independent operators for thin routes. Resale and maintenance considerations for this airframe hinge on CF34 parts lifecycle and avionics retrofits, where continued serviceability and operator-specific cabin configurations influence marketability.
