N244LR

This airframe, registered as N244LR, is a member of the Bombardier CRJ-900LR family designated Bombardier CRJ-900LR (CL-600-2D24) and carries manufacturer serial number 15233. Build year: Not published. The aircraft is owned and operated by Mesa Airlines, based in Phoenix, AZ, US, and is registered in the US. No publicly recorded changes of registry or major ownership transfers are published for this airframe; its operational history is maintained under Mesa Airlines' fleet account. Condition and valuation specifics are not published for this individual airframe.

The airframe is configured with a single-aisle regional passenger layout, with seat counts and exact cabin configuration operator-configured and therefore varying under Mesa Airlines' fit choices. Avionics on this example are fitted with the Rockwell Collins ProLine 4 suite, though the specific operator fit varies and may include airline-specific communications, navigation, and flight management options. Typical mission profiles for this LR (long-range) variant emphasize medium-haul regional services where a higher range or payload capability is required versus standard regional jets, reflecting Mesa Airlines' network operations from its Phoenix hub. Maintenance considerations follow the CRJ-900LR type commonality within the operator's fleet, with logistics and component support aligned to CF34-8C5 engine maintenance programs.

The Bombardier CRJ-900LR (CL-600-2D24) occupies the regional jet performance niche offering higher range and payload than smaller regional jets while maintaining single-aisle economics; the LR variant extends sector capability to routes approaching 1,800+ nm. Competing models in this space include stretched regional jets and light narrowbody aircraft offering similar seat counts and mission flexibility; buyers and charter operators value the CRJ-900LR for its combination of range, cruise speed, and established operator support networks. Resale and maintenance considerations typically center on CF34 engine shop visit histories, avionics standards such as ProLine 4 upgrades, and operator-specific cabin refurbishments that influence aftermarket demand.
