Model & Market Context
This entry covers airframe N945LR, a Bombardier-built regional jet delivered in 2006 with manufacturer serial number 15077. The airframe is owned by Mesa Airlines (operating for American Eagle), a corporate operator based in Phoenix, AZ, US, and has been operated in Mesa’s regional fleet in the capacity of operating for American Eagle. Registry-specific notable actions or condition appraisals are not published in the provided data; available records focus on build, serial, and operational stewardship by Mesa. The aircraft is a factory-built example of the Bombardier CRJ-900ER family and retains the typical fit and cabin configuration used by its operator.
The airframe carries a dual-class 76-seat layout reflecting Mesa’s typical configuration: 12 First / 36 Main Cabin Extra / 28 Main Cabin, a setup balancing premium and high-density regional demand. Avionics are consistent with a CRJ-900/NextGen fit, equipped with the Rockwell Collins Pro Line 4 suite for flight management, navigation and crew interfaces. Typical mission employment for this airframe under Mesa’s operation is short- to medium-range regional services appropriate to its 1,593 nm range and cruise speed near 447 kt, based from its Phoenix operating base. Maintenance and operational considerations for this specific jet follow CRJ-900ER norms, particularly engine care for the twin GE CF34-8C5 installations and line maintenance intervals aligned to Mesa’s network scheduling.
As a Bombardier CRJ-900ER (CL-600-2D24), serial 15077 sits within the 76-seat regional jet segment, offering airlines a high-cruise-speed regional capability and trans-regional range to serve hub-feeder operations. Competing models in the same niche typically emphasize similar seating and range trade-offs; maintenance and resale considerations for this airframe are influenced by its GE CF34 engine family, avionics fit of the Rockwell Collins Pro Line 4, and the aircraft’s dual-class interior that affects remarketing to operators seeking either mixed-class service or conversion to single-class high density.
