In its relatively short life, N546FF has sort of bounced around while really staying in one spot. Welcome to corporate america, young Bombardier CRJ-702. The aircraft has always had the American Eagle livery. However, in April, 2014 the official ownership was transferred to Envoy Air. In May, 2015, N546FF was then transferred to PSA Airlines.
Regardless of the paperwork, it’s all American Airlines. The American Eagle brand is fully owned by AA and operated by ten different regional airlines. For more information on this specific airplane, the CRJ-702 model in general and the airline(s), see below the gallery.

N546FF was originally delivered to American Eagle on April 20, 2011. On April 15, 2014, the Bombardier CRJ-702 was transferred to Envoy Air, the American Airlines subsidiary that was formerly American Eagle. On May 30, 2015, the aircraft was transferred to PSA Airlines, a wholly owned subsidiary of American Airlines.
This is one of 26 CRJ-700 Family airplanes currently in the PSA Airlines fleet. By the end of 2017, 35 more will have been transferred from Envoy Air. The CRJ-702 is configured with nine first class seats, along with 58 more in economy class for a maximum total of 67 passengers.
An incident occurred on October 14, 2014 when the plane was operated by Envoy. On a flight from Midland, Texas to Dallas Ft. Worth, the crew received an indication of an overheated outboard brake on the left outboard main wheel. The flight was diverted to Abilene, Texas. N546FF landed safely and the overheat indication was proved to be false.
