N8709A

This entry covers the specific airframe registered as N8709A, a Bombardier-built regional jet delivered in 2002 with manufacturer serial number 7709. The aircraft is a Bombardier CRJ-200LR (CL-600-2B19) currently held in trust by TVPX AIRCRAFT SOLUTIONS INC TRUSTEE of North Salt Lake, UT, US, the listed corporate owner on the U.S. registry. The airframe is registered in the US and is recorded with a market valuation of $2,500,000, reflecting typical values for early-2000s CRJ-200LRs and its configuration/condition as noted on registry entries. There are no public notations of major incident history in the supplied data; the ownership as a trustee suggests a transactional or remarketing status rather than long-term operator possession.

The registered cabin for N8709A is listed as a single-class regional layout with 55 seats, though operator configurations commonly vary and typically install about 44–50 seats for revenue service; the registry entry specifically notes 55 seats. Avionics fit is the typical CRJ-200 standard, identified as Collins Pro Line 4, supporting standard regional airline navigation, communications and flight management tasks. In operational terms this airframe is suited to short-haul regional missions within its 1,700 nm range and cruise speed around 424 kts, serving high-frequency city-pair shuttle routes, thin transcontinental legs, or third-level markets when in airline or charter service. Ownership in trust and corporate registration imply the aircraft may be in storage, transition, or placed for lease/remarketing; maintenance status and operator-specific amenities are not published in the provided data.

The Bombardier CRJ-200LR occupies the classic regional jet niche for point-to-point routes under 2,000 nm with modest passenger capacity and efficient twin CF34 turbofans. Competing types in the secondary market include earlier Embraer ERJ variants and later regional turboprops for very short sectors; the CRJ-200’s speed (424 kts) and ceiling (41,000 ft) keep it viable for time-sensitive regional links. Buyer and charter demand for this generation of CRJ typically emphasizes low acquisition cost (reflected by the $2,500,000 valuation), availability of airframe parts and engine support for the GE CF34-3B1, and considerations about stage-length economics and retrofit needs (seating reconfiguration, interior refresh, and avionics upgrades). Resale and maintenance outlooks for this airframe will hinge on its maintenance records, recent shop visits, and whether an operator modernizes cabin and systems from the factory-standard Collins Pro Line 4 baseline.
