N96EA

This airframe, registered as N96EA, is a Bombardier CRJ-200ER (CL-600-2B19) completed in 2002 with manufacturer serial number 7700. The aircraft is owned by Elite Airways, a corporate owner based in Portland, ME, USA, and carries a United States registration (US). Public records do not list a detailed chain of prior operators in the supplied data; no notable registry actions published for this specific airframe in the provided dataset. Valuation and condition highlights for this individual aircraft are not published in the supplied data.

The aircraft is configured in a single-class, 50-seat passenger layout suited to regional scheduled or charter operations operated by its corporate owner. Avionics fit follows the typical CRJ-200 installation, equipped with the Collins Pro Line 4 suite, supporting standard regional airline navigation, communications and flight-management capabilities. With a maximum cruise of 424 kts and a range of 1,345 nm, the airframe is optimized for short- to medium-range routes such as multi-leg regional services or point-to-point charter sectors from the operator’s Portland, Maine base. Maintenance considerations for this specific CRJ-200ER reflect its installation of two CF34-3B1 turbofan engines and the airframe vintage from 2002, which commonly results in lifecycle-oriented checks, parts provisioning and overhaul planning typical of early-2000s regional jets.

The Bombardier CRJ-200ER occupies the regional jet niche for 50-seat operations where economics favor higher frequency and short-stage lengths; this airframe’s cruise performance (424 kts) and service ceiling (41,000 ft) are representative of that class. Competing models in the market segment historically include variants of Embraer regional jets and turboprops on shorter sectors. Buyer and charter demand for Type CL-600-2B19 airframes tends to emphasize airframe condition, remaining calendar- and cycle-life, and CF34 engine life; these factors drive maintenance planning, resale value and transition to specialty or charter operators.
