N329PQ

This entry covers airframe N329PQ, a regional jet completed in 2014 with manufacturer serial number 15329. The aircraft is a long-range variant of the CRJ-900 series, registered in the United States and held in trust by corporate owner Bank of Utah, Trustee located in Salt Lake City, UT. No detailed public record of prior operators or notable incidents is published in the supplied data. Operator base and active commercial operator information are not published; the cabin and equipment notes indicate a configuration commonly used by Delta Connection regional operators.

The airframe is equipped with an operator-configured two-class cabin layout; a Delta Connection–typical fit is noted as 76 seats split into 12 business, 20 Comfort and 44 economy positions, though the airframe’s certificate capacity lists 95 seats. Avionics are typical for the CRJ-900 legacy series with a Rockwell Collins Pro Line 4 suite for flight and systems management. Typical missions for this LR variant include medium-haul regional routes where higher cruise and extended range are advantageous, operating out of regional hubs to short- to medium-haul destinations. Maintenance and leasing considerations reflect its corporate trust ownership structure and commonality with other CF34-powered regional jets, facilitating parts support and line- and heavy-maintenance scheduling within regional operator networks.

The airframe belongs to the Bombardier CRJ-900LR family manufactured by Bombardier Inc. and identified as Bombardier CRJ-900LR (CL-600-2D24), which occupies the regional jet market niche for 70–100 seat operations. Competing types include stretched regional jets and smaller narrowbody replacements from other OEMs; the CRJ-900LR’s strengths are fuel-efficient CF34 engines and regional economics on short-to-medium sectors. Buyers and lessors typically value fleet commonality, avionics suites like Pro Line 4, and engine support; resale and maintenance cycles hinge on utilization, interior configuration, and trust/lease ownership arrangements.
