N349PQ

This airframe, registered as N349PQ, is a 2015-built Bombardier CRJ-900LR (CL-600-2D24) with manufacturer's serial number 15349. The aircraft is held in trust by BANK OF UTAH TRUSTEE, a corporate owner based in Salt Lake City, UT, US, a status often associated with finance or lease arrangements; ownership by a trustee corporation indicates the airframe is likely subject to lease or lien arrangements rather than direct operator control. The registration is United States-issued and the airframe’s configuration and equipment reflect typical regional airline specifications rather than a business-conversion layout. No operator change history beyond the trustee ownership is published in the provided data.

The cabin of this specific CRJ-900LR follows a typical single-aisle regional layout with four-abreast seating, accommodating between 86 and 95 passengers depending on operator fit; this airframe is fitted for the upper end at 95 seats. It includes forward and aft lavatories and an aft galley, supporting standard short- to medium-haul regional missions and high-density commuter schedules. Avionics are an operator-specific installation of the Rockwell Collins Pro Line 4 suite, indicating systems common to regional carriers and enabling interoperable cockpit operations across similar fleets. Maintenance and operational considerations for this airframe will reflect standard CRJ-900LR practices—airframe/engine shop visits aligned to CF34-8C5 cycles and operator-configured avionics maintenance.

The Bombardier CRJ-900LR (CL-600-2D24) occupies the regional jet niche for 70–100 seat markets, offering trans-regional range and speed suitable for thin trunk and spoke routes. Competing types include stretched regional jets and smaller narrowbodies in replaced or feeder roles. Demand from regional carriers and third-party lessors centers on reliability of the GE CF34-8C5 powerplant and the commonality of the Pro Line 4 avionics; resale and lease value are influenced by interior density (this airframe’s 95-seat layout), established maintenance records, and ownership encumbrances typical of trustee-held assets.
