N955JX

This entry describes airframe N955JX, an Embraer-built regional jet completed in 2001 with manufacturer serial number 145496. The airframe is an Embraer EMB-145LR produced by Embraer S.A. and is registered in the United States to the corporate operator DELUX PUBLIC CHARTER LLC of Dallas, TX, US. The aircraft is configured and marketed for charter and regional operations, and its registry and operational records reflect operation under a U.S. corporate certificate rather than individual private ownership. Maintenance and disposition notes for this airframe emphasize its long-term use in short-haul executive/charter roles rather than entry into freighter conversion or VIP widebody markets.

This specific EMB-145LR has been reported in a business-class charter configuration described as a C30 business-class (JSX/charter executive layout) while also capable of being operated in high-density regional layouts accommodating up to 50–55 seats. Typical mission profiles include short- to medium-range point-to-point regional and charter sectors within the continental U.S., leveraging the aircraft’s 1,550 nm range and high single-cruise speed for quick rotations. Avionics fit for the airframe is consistent with the family standard, with a Honeywell Primus-series suite commonly installed on ERJ-145 variants, supporting regional airline and charter operational requirements. As a corporate-charter asset, maintenance emphasis is on dispatch reliability, cabin reconfiguration capability, and adherence to Part 135/121 scheduling standards applicable to its operator.

The Embraer EMB-145LR sits in the regional jet niche as a long-range variant of the ERJ-145 family, offering higher range and typical seating for 50–55 passengers compared with regional turboprops and smaller business jets. Competing models historically include Bombardier CRJ100/200 series and newer 70–90-seat regional jets when considering capacity-adjusted comparisons. Buyer and charter demand for configured ERJ-145LRs tends to favor operators seeking a balance of speed, runway performance, and lower acquisition cost versus larger regional jets; resale considerations focus on engine cycle life (Rolls-Royce AE 3007A1P), avionics modernization (Honeywell Primus upgrades), and the flexibility to operate either an executive C30 layout or higher-density regional seating.
