N414ZW
Owned and operated by Air Wisconsin, N414ZW now flies for American Eagle Airlines. The aircraft was delivered to Air Wisconsin on November 28, 2001 and has never left the fleet. The airplane is configured for 50 passengers, all in economy class.
This CRJ-200 has a clean safety record. However, on October 4, 2010 the airplane was involved in an unsual incident. N414ZW had just completed a flight from Greensboro, North Carolina (GSO) to New York’s La Guardia Airport (LGA). A female passenger tripped and fell on the stairs, exiting the aircraft. The result was a broken wrist.
Bombardier CRJ-200LR
935 of these aircraft were built by Bombardier (Canadair Regional Jet) between 1991 and 2006. Most U.S. airlines are phasing out these planes due to higher fuel consumption. They are being replaced with Embraer E-175 and Bombardier CRJ-700. Air Wisconsin is currently the third largest operator of this type of aircraft, behind Skywest Airlines and ExpressJet.
The CRJ-200LR is 27 metres or 88 feet long with a wingspan of 21 metres or 70 feet. At the tail, the aircraft stands six metres or 20 feet tall. The flight range for the LR version is 3,713 kilometres, significantly further than the ER version which has a range of 3,045 km.
