N78EA

The aircraft bearing tail number N78EA is a Bombardier CRJ-701ER (CL-600-2C10) built in 2003 with manufacturer serial 10103. It is registered in the US and is owned by Auburn-Lewiston Municipal Airport, a municipality/airport based in Auburn, ME, US, which serves as the airframe’s operator/home base for local and regional operations. The airframe’s registry denotes municipal ownership rather than a commercial carrier, and no separate commercial operator history or notable re-registration events are published for this specific airframe. Condition highlights are limited to standard CRJ-700-series serviceability parameters; specific valuation or unique damage history for this tail number is not published.

The cabin is listed as an airline regional layout with a typical 68–78 seats configuration; the specific interior fit for this airframe is not published, so exact seat count, cabin refurbishment dates, or galley/lavatory specifics are not available. The flight deck conforms to a Pro Line / Collins ProLine-style fitment typical of CRJ-700 family installations, supporting standard regional airline navigation, communication, and flight management systems. Typical mission profiles for this airframe type include short- to medium-range regional passenger services within the aircraft’s published range of 1,946 nm and cruise at approximately 447 kts, operating from the owner/operator base at Auburn-Lewiston Municipal Airport for scheduled or on-demand regional connectivity. Maintenance considerations align with CF34-8C5 engine support and CRJ-700 series airframe heavy-check cycles; no special amenities or deviations from standard CRJ-701ER maintenance practice are published for this airframe.

The Bombardier CRJ-701ER (CL-600-2C10) occupies the regional jet performance niche between smaller regional types and larger narrowbodies, offering higher cruise speeds and trans-regional range in the CRJ-700 family. Competing models include Embraer E-Jet variants and smaller regional jets in airline subfleets; demand is typically driven by regional carriers and municipal operators seeking efficient short- to medium-haul capacity. Resale and maintenance considerations for this airframe focus on CF34-8C5 engine lifecycle, avionics Pro Line commonality, and cabin reconfiguration potential given the typical 68–78 seat layout, with market value and specific resale history for N78EA not published.
