N97EA

This airframe, registered as N97EA, is a Bombardier CRJ-100ER built in 1993 by Bombardier Aerospace (Canadair) with manufacturer serial 7027. The aircraft is owned by Elite Airways, a corporation based in the United States, and is carried on a US registration. The airframe's history on the registry is concise in the available data, with ownership recorded to Elite Airways; no additional registry events or transfers are published in the provided dataset. Condition and valuation specifics are not published in the supplied details.

The airframe is configured in a 50-seat single-class regional layout with a forward galley, passenger cabin, and aft lavatory, reflecting typical short-haul commercial regional service. Avionics fit conforms to the typical CRJ-100/200 installation with Collins Pro Line / Collins EFIS, supporting standard airline dispatch and regional instrument procedures. With a 1,305 nm range and cruise speed of 424 knots, the aircraft is suited to high-frequency regional point-to-point routes and short to medium stage lengths operated from a US-based operator; flight profiles emphasize quick turnarounds and multiple daily sectors. Maintenance considerations for this specific CRJ-100ER reflect the family’s older-generation systems and CF34-3A1 engine type, which entail established overhaul and shop-capacity supply chains common to 1990s regional jets.

The Bombardier CRJ-100ER represents the early generation CRJ family targeted at 50-seat regional markets, delivering higher cruise speeds and altitude capability (41,000 ft) than many turboprops while operating with small-jet economics on shorter sectors. Competing models in the era included 50-seat regional jets and larger turboprops, with market demand focused on regional scheduled carriers and regional charter operators. For this airframe, resale and maintenance considerations reflect its 1993 build year and ER performance enhancements; buyers and operators typically weigh airframe age, engine life cycles of the CF34-3A1, and the prevalence of Collins Pro Line avionics when assessing refurbishment or parts-commonality requirements.
