Model & Market Context
The airframe bearing tail N940SA is a 2004-built Bombardier CL-600-2B19 (CRJ-200ER), serial 7979, currently owned by SLATE AIRCRAFT COMPANY LLC of Johnstown, PA, US. Registered in the US, this fixed-wing multi-engine regional jet is recorded with a market valuation of $2,000,000. The ownership history for this specific airframe is characterized by its current corporate registration and home base in Johnstown; notable registry entries reflect its continued operation under the corporate owner rather than transfer to an individual operator.
This specific CRJ-200ER is outfitted in a single-class regional layout consistent with approximately 50–55 economy seats typical of the type, supporting high-density short- to medium-haul operations. Avionics aboard this airframe are listed as Collins Pro Line (consistent with the common Pro Line 4 fit on many CRJ-200 operators), providing integrated flight, navigation and communication systems suitable for regional airline or corporate charter missions. With a maximum range of 1,700 nm and cruise speed near 424 kts, typical mission profiles for N940SA include multi-leg regional services and point-to-point charters within continental reach of its Johnstown, PA base. Maintenance and operational considerations for this airframe reflect standard CRJ-200 fleet practices under corporate ownership, including factory-standard twin CF34 engines and regional-seat wear patterns.
The Bombardier CL-600-2B19 (CRJ-200ER) family occupies a performance niche as a short-to-medium-range regional jet with economical seating density and relatively high cruise speeds for its class. Competing models typically include other 50-seat regional jets and turbofan conversions aimed at the same airline and charter markets. Buyer and charter demand for airframes like N940SA often emphasizes lower acquisition cost and proven regional performance; resale and maintenance considerations center on engine lifecycle (CF34-3B1), avionics modernization (Collins Pro Line upgrades), and airframe age given the 2004 build date, all factors affecting the aircraft’s $2,000,000 valuation.
