N879AS

This airframe, tail number N879AS, is a Bombardier CRJ-200ER (CL-600-2B19) manufactured by Bombardier Aerospace and built in 2002 with manufacturer serial number 7600. It is owned by ExpressJet Airlines as a corporate operator and is registered in the US. Public records contain no published notable registry actions or change-of-ownership events beyond the stated corporate ownership. Valuation and detailed condition reports for this specific airframe are Not published.

The airframe is configured in a 50-seat single-class regional layout within a narrow cabin of 8 ft 3 in width, reflecting the typical commuter seating density for CRJ-200-series aircraft. Avionics are fitted with the Collins Pro Line 4 suite, the common avionics fit for this model, supporting regional airline operational requirements and conventional two-pilot IFR operations. With a cruise speed of 424 kts and a range of 1,305 nm, the aircraft is suited to short- to medium-range regional sectors and frequency-based shuttle services operated by its owner, ExpressJet Airlines. Maintenance considerations for this specific airframe center on the two GE CF34-3B1 turbofans and airframe lifecycle tasks typical of early-2000s CRJ-200ER units; detailed maintenance status is Not published.

The CRJ-200ER (CL-600-2B19) occupies the 50-seat regional jet niche that emphasizes high-frequency, short-haul trunk and feeder routes, and is commonly pitted against aircraft such as the Embraer ERJ family in airline route planning. The platform’s advantages include relatively high cruise speed and a certified service ceiling of 41,000 ft, while resale and charter demand are constrained by the 50-seat category and airframe age for a 2002 build. Common market considerations for buyers and lessors include CF34-3B1 engine maintenance lifecycle costs, avionics upgrade needs relative to newer regional types, and the limited secondary-market appetite for older 50-seat regional jets.
