N840AE

This airframe, registered as N840AE, is an Embraer-built regional jet completed in 2002 with manufacturer serial number 145656. The airframe is an Embraer ERJ-140LR (EMB-135KL) produced by Embraer and is owned and operated by American Eagle / Envoy Air (American Airlines Group) with corporate location in Fort Worth, TX, US. The aircraft carries a US registration and has been employed in the American Eagle regional fleet since its build year; its assignment to Envoy Air under the American Airlines Group umbrella represents the principal ownership and operator relationship. Registry and operator records for this specific tail reflect continuous commercial regional use with a typical valuation and condition profile consistent with a 2002-built ERJ-140LR in common regional service.

The cabin is fitted in a typical 37-seat single-class regional layout, matching the ERJ-140LR’s intended short-haul commercial role. Operated from Envoy Air’s American Eagle network based in Fort Worth, TX, the aircraft is routinely deployed on short- to medium-range regional sectors consistent with a 1,650 nm range and 450-knot cruise speed. While specific avionics and modifications for this serial are not listed here, continued operation in a mainline regional fleet implies adherence to scheduled maintenance programs and operator-configured systems for commercial passenger service. Engine type and configuration—two AE 3007-A1/3 turbofans—drive typical maintenance cycles and support requirements for regional airline operators.

The Embraer ERJ-140LR occupies a performance niche as a 37-seat regional jet optimized for frequency-driven short-haul markets, balancing passenger capacity and fuel-efficient turbofan performance. Competing models in the same mission class typically include other regional jets and high-capacity turboprops, with buyer and charter demand focused on replacement, fleet commonality, and operating economics. Resale considerations for this specific airframe hinge on airframe age (built 2002), engine type (AE 3007-A1/3), and continued type support; operators commonly weigh remaining fatigue life, maintenance records, and fleet compatibility when assessing secondary-market value.
