N8948B

This entry covers airframe N8948B, a Bombardier CRJ200 (CL-600-2B19) built in 2004 with manufacturer serial number 7948. The airframe is recorded as owned by TVPX AIRCRAFT SOLUTIONS INC TRUSTEE, a corporate trustee based in North Salt Lake, UT, US, and is registered in the US registry. Operational history for this specific tail includes standard regional airline service profiles and corporate trustee ownership; the recorded transfer into a trustee corporation indicates a financial or leasing-related ownership structure rather than direct airline ownership. Valuation and condition notes list the airframe at approximately $2,500,000, reflecting market conditions for early-2000s regional jets with typical life-cycle maintenance considerations.

The aircraft is outfitted in a regional single-class layout typical of CRJ200 operations, described as the common 55-seat arrangement though fleets sometimes operate 44–50/55-seat variants and some operators configured CRJ440 44-seat layouts. Avionics fit is the Collins Pro Line 4 suite as is typical for CRJ-100/200 fleets, supporting regional procedures, flight management and established navigation and communications requirements. Typical mission profiles for this airframe are short- to medium-haul regional routes where the 1,700 nm range and 424 kt cruise provide efficient hop performance between hub-and-spoke points; maintenance planning follows CF34-3B1 engine programs and airframe aging inspections commensurate with a 2004-built regional jet.

As a member of the Bombardier CRJ200 family, the airframe occupies a niche for 50–seat regional operations with modest trip costs and established operator familiarity. Competing models historically include other regional jets and turboprops in the same capacity band; strong secondary-market demand is driven by replacement value, engine program status and remaining structural life. Resale and leasing considerations for this specific airframe are influenced by its 2004 build year, Collins avionics fit, CF34 engine type and the trustee-based ownership structure, all of which affect financing, redelivery conditions and aftermarket valuation.
