N108BZ 2007 Embraer ERJ-190AR

Overview

This airframe, registered as N108BZ, is an Embraer-built regional jet completed in 2007 with manufacturer's serial number 19000070. The type is an Embraer ERJ-190AR (ERJ-190-100 IGW) and the airframe is recorded in U.S. civil registers with an owner listed as Wilmington Trust Co Trustee, a corporate trustee located in Wilmington, DE, US. The aircraft is equipped and certificated as a fixed-wing multi-engine transport; its U.S. registration and trustee ownership indicate it has been managed under corporate finance or lease structures rather than private individual ownership. Notable registry detail: the airframe is maintained on U.S. registers under the tail number N108BZ, and the documented ownership structure suggests held in trust for operator or creditor interests rather than direct airline asset listing.

Operations & Cabin

The aircraft carries an airline single-class, high-density cabin layout typical to E190 production and operator listings, with approximately 108 seats configured for regional and short-to-medium-haul trunk routes. Its original build includes a Honeywell Primus Epic digital flight deck as fitted to first-generation E-Jet family examples, supporting modern flight-management and integrated avionics capabilities for airline operations. Typical mission profiles for this airframe include high-frequency regional services and thin long-thin trunk sectors within its 2,450 nm range and cruise of 450 kt, permitting transnational or extended regional sectors. Maintenance and operational considerations for this specific airframe are consistent with ERJ-190AR series practices, with attention to CF34-10E5 engine support and the avionics commonality of early E-Jet deliveries.

Model & Market Context

The Embraer ERJ-190AR (100 IGW) sits within the E-Jet family targeted at airlines requiring 90-110 seat regional and short mainline capacity. With a service ceiling of 41,000 ft, range of 2,450 nm, and commonly configured 108 seats, it competes with stretched regional jets and smaller single-aisle types for short- to medium-haul markets. Buyer and charter demand typically favors airframes with documented ownership and U.S. registry, while maintenance and resale considerations hinge on CF34 engine support, airframe hours, and the continuing appeal of the Honeywell Primus Epic-equipped cockpit to regional operators and lessors.
