N458AW

This airframe, registered as N458AW, is a Bombardier CRJ-200LR (CL-600-2B19) completed in 2003 with manufacturer's serial number 7861. The aircraft is owned by Air Wisconsin Airlines LLC, a corporation based in Appleton, WI, US, which has operated the type as a regional carrier and contract operator. The airframe carries United States registration and has been maintained in a configuration consistent with regional airline single-class service. Ownership and operational control have been consistently held by Air Wisconsin Airlines LLC since acquisition, and the aircraft's configuration and avionics reflect standard CRJ-200LR equipment levels for continued regional passenger operations.

The interior of N458AW is configured as a 50-seat single-class regional economy cabin with four-abreast seating, matching typical commuter and regional jet layouts used on short- to medium-haul sectors. Avionics fit is the typical CRJ-200 installation of Collins Pro Line 4, supporting regional airline navigation, communication, and flight management needs. Typical mission profiles emphasize short-stage-length scheduled flights and regional feed operations with turnaround-focused utilization, leveraging the aircraft’s range of 1,700 nm and cruise speed near 424 kt. Maintenance practices follow regional airline standards for the CF34-3B1 engine family and airframe systems, with logistics and parts provisioning coordinated through the owner-operator based in Appleton, Wisconsin.

The Bombardier CRJ-200LR airframe, represented here by N458AW, occupies a niche as a 50-seat regional jet optimized for high-frequency short-haul routes and operations into smaller airports with limited gate and ramp capacity. Competing types historically include other 50-seat regional jets and newer regional turboprops or regional jets with improved economics; market demand tends toward operators seeking proven regional performance and fleet commonality. Resale and maintenance considerations center on CF34-3B1 engine support, avionics upgrades such as Pro Line 4 lifecycle management, and the airframe’s single-class 50-seat configuration when evaluating remarketing or continued regional service.
