N89LD

This airframe, registered in the United States as N89LD, is an Embraer-built regional jet, model Embraer ERJ-135LR, completed in 2005 with manufacturer serial number 145648. It is owned by MCKEE FOODS TRANSPORTATION LLC, an LLC based in Collegedale, TN, US, which is the recorded operator/home base for the aircraft. The airframe is a fixed-wing multi-engine regional transport configured for 37 passengers and powered by two Rolls-Royce engines; no public record of recent major registry actions or valuation adjustments is published in the supplied data. The ownership by a corporate transportation subsidiary indicates use in company or contracted charter operations rather than airline scheduled service.

The cabin of this specific ERJ-135LR reflects a typical 37-passenger regional layout, reported as 37 seats, suitable for short- to medium-range corporate or shuttle missions. The aircraft’s operational profile, given its range of 1,750 nm and cruise speed of 450 kts, favors regional point-to-point services, corporate group transport and charter flights within continental ranges. Avionics fit and interior refurbishments are not published in the provided data, so any unique amenities or special maintenance programs for this airframe are not specified. Based at Collegedale, Tennessee under its owner/operator, the airframe would be maintained under standard regional jet maintenance regimes appropriate to the Embraer ERJ family and its Rolls-Royce AE 3007 powerplants.

The Embraer ERJ-135LR occupies a performance niche as a 37-seat regional jet derivative within the Embraer ERJ family, offering trans-regional capability at moderate cruise speed and a service ceiling of 37,000 ft. Competing models in the same market segment historically include smaller regional jets and corporate-configured turbofan types; demand is driven by regional carriers, corporate shuttles and charter operators seeking economical short-haul capability. Maintenance and resale considerations for this 2005 airframe center on age-related airframe hours, continued support for the Rolls-Royce AE 3007 engines and the availability of ERJ spares, all factors that influence operating cost and secondary-market valuation.
