N820AS

The airframe bearing tail number N820AS is a Bombardier CRJ-200ER built by Bombardier Aerospace in 1997, with manufacturer serial number 7188. The aircraft is owned by the corporation Avmax Group, based in Calgary, AB, Canada, and is registered in the US. Maintenance status and valuation specifics are not published here, but the airframe’s age and ER designation indicate it has been operated in regional transport roles since delivery under standard commercial and corporate registries.

The aircraft is outfitted in a single-class, 50-seat configuration with a 2+2 abreast economy layout designed for short- to medium-haul regional operations. Typical avionics fit for this CRJ-200 airframe follows the Collins Pro Line suite, consistent with factory or retrofit installations for the model. Operated from the owner’s base in Calgary, AB, Canada, missions for this airframe generally include regional scheduled or charter services within a radius consistent with a 1,700 nm ferry range and high-speed cruise capability of 424 kts. Given the two CF34-3B1 engines, maintenance considerations focus on hot-section inspections and lifecycle management typical of late-1990s regional jets, with refurbishments or avionics updates commonly performed to maintain dispatch reliability.

The Bombardier CRJ-200ER occupies the regional jet niche for 50-seat operations, offering higher cruise speed and altitude capability—up to 41,000 ft—compared with turboprops and earlier regional jets. Competing models historically include smaller regional jets and re-engined or newer-generation 50-seat types; demand tends toward used airframes for charter, ACMI, or feeder routes where economics favor proven 50-seat platforms. Resale and maintenance considerations for this 1997-built airframe (MSN 7188) emphasize engine life remaining on GE CF34-3B1 cores, avionics currency of the Collins Pro Line suite, and the economic impacts of older regional jet operations on operators such as Avmax Group.
