N498SA

This airframe, registered as N498SA, is a Bombardier CRJ-200ER (CL-600-2B19) built in 2001 with manufacturer serial number 7564. The aircraft is owned by RI MILLENNIUM II LLC, a corporation based in Beverly, MA, US, and is registered in the US. There are no other publicized operator transfers or lease entries in the supplied data; the airframe’s condition is summarized by an estimated market value of $7,000,000, reflecting its age and configuration. Registry and valuation highlights indicate a late-model regional jet maintained to commercial standards under corporate ownership.

The cabin is configured in a single-aisle regional layout with four-abreast seating, accommodating approximately 50–55 seats, consistent with the listed 55-seat specification; this layout suits short- to medium-range regional services. Avionics are listed as Collins Pro Line, with the caveat that operator-specific fitment may vary and retrofit possibilities exist under corporate ownership. Typical mission profiles for this airframe include regional scheduled service, corporate charter, or sub-service operations over its 1,700 nm range and cruise speed of 424 kts, operating from bases compatible with US registry requirements; the owner’s Beverly, MA location suggests Northeast US operating familiarity. Maintenance considerations for this airframe focus on CF34-3B1 engine support and airframe fatigue management typical for early-2000s CRJ-200ER examples.

The Bombardier CRJ-200ER family occupies the regional jet niche for short-to-medium stage lengths, offering economical seat-mile performance for up to roughly 55 passengers and a high single-aisle utilization rate. Competing models in its era include early-generation Embraer regional jets and smaller narrowbody derivatives; buyers target operators needing high-frequency regional capacity rather than long-haul range. Market and resale considerations for a 2001 CRJ-200ER with CF34-3B1 engines center on engine shop visit cycles, avionics upgrade paths from original Collins Pro Line fitments, and the relatively mature secondary market where a valuation near $7,000,000 reflects both remaining utility and age-related maintenance requirements.
