N840AY

This airframe, registered as N840AY, is a 2005-build Bombardier CRJ-200LR (CL-600-2B19) with manufacturer's serial number 8040. The aircraft is owned and operated by Endeavor Air (Delta Connection), a United States-based regional corporation, and is enrolled on the US civil register. The airframe is catalogued as a fixed-wing multi-engine regional jet and has been configured for a 50-seat single-class passenger layout. Operated by Endeavor Air as part of the Delta Connection network, this specific CRJ-200LR serves the short-haul regional mission profile typical of its operator.

The cabin of N840AY is fitted in a 50-seat single-class regional layout (economy), reflecting its role on high-frequency, short- to medium-range routes within a regional feed network. Avionics fit for this airframe follows the common CRJ-200 operator standard, with Collins Pro Line 4 equipment noted as typical. With twin General Electric CF34-3B1 engines each rated at 9,220 lbf, the aircraft is optimized for quick turnaround operations between hub-and-spoke or point-to-point regional markets. Maintenance considerations for this airframe align with fleet-level practices at its owner, requiring attention to CF34 engine support and aging-airframe checks consistent with a mid-2000s-build regional jet.

The Bombardier CRJ-200LR (CL-600-2B19) occupies the regional jet performance niche for 50-seat, short-haul operations, offering a cruise near 424 kts and a service ceiling up to 41,000 ft. In the marketplace, the type competes with other 50-seat regional jets and turbofan-fed regional aircraft used by legacy carriers for feeder services. Buyer and operator demand emphasizes reliability of the CF34 engine family and commonality with existing regional fleets; resale and maintenance considerations for a 2005-build airframe such as N840AY include lifecycle costs associated with older avionics suites and airframe fatigue scheduling.
