Model & Market Context
The airframe bearing registration N501GJ is a Bombardier-built regional jet completed in 2001, serial number 10005, constructed by Bombardier Inc.. The airframe is recorded as owned by BANK OF UTAH TRUSTEE (a corporation based in Salt Lake City, UT, US) and carries US registration US; it is commonly noted in operator records with a United Express-configured cabin. There are no widely reported extraordinary registry actions for this airframe, and valuation or specific condition reports are Not published. The aircraft retains its original Bombardier designation and has remained in the CRJ family fleet disposition since delivery.
This specific airframe is outfitted in the United Express CRJ-550 seating concept with a 50-seat layout organized as 10 First / 20 Premium / 20 Economy (50 seats) — United Express CRJ-550 layout. The aircraft is cleared for short- to medium-haul regional missions typical of the CRJ-550 niche, operating on higher-frequency trunk routes where a 50-seat capacity and premium-dense cabin mix are advantageous. Its avionics reflect the CRJ-family fit: the standard CL-600-2C11/RJ700 flightdeck with legacy ProLine or airline-specified suite, supporting regional operating profiles and airline maintenance practices. Maintenance considerations for this airframe align with CF34-8C-series engine support and CRJ-mainframe structural inspections common to early-2000s production units.
The Bombardier CRJ-550 (CL-600-2C11) occupies a specific performance niche as a 50-seat regional jet derived from the CRJ700 family, providing improved passenger comfort relative to earlier 50-seat types while retaining regional-jet economics. Competing aircraft include other 50-seat or small 70-seat regional jets modified for premium layouts; demand is driven by regional carriers and scope-clause considerations. For buyers and lessors, maintenance planning focuses on CF34-8C engine shop visits and airframe life items for a 2001-build example, and resale value is influenced by cabin configuration and remaining component times.
