N502GJ

The airframe bearing tail number N502GJ is a 2001-built regional jet of serial number 10011, configured as a Bombardier CRJ-550 (CL-600-2C11). The airframe is registered in the United States and is owned by BANK OF UTAH TRUSTEE, a corporate trustee based in Salt Lake City, UT, US, a recorded ownership entry that represents its most recent known title. There are no additional published operator or home-base assignments in the supplied data; maintenance condition and commercial valuation specifics are not provided for this individual airframe. The registration and trustee ownership indicate a corporate financing or lease-backed status rather than direct airline ownership.

This specific aircraft is fitted in a 50-seat United Express CRJ-550 interior with a cabin breakdown of 10 First / 20 Economy Plus / 20 Economy, reflecting a dual-class regional configuration intended for premium short- to medium-haul regional service. The avionics fit is typical of the larger CRJ-700-series with a Rockwell Collins ProLine 4 suite, supporting modern regional airline operating profiles and common fleet pilot training. Typical missions for this airframe type include high-frequency regional shuttle and thin-route services where premium seating mix and stage lengths near its listed 1,378 nm range are required. The trustee ownership status suggests the airframe may be subject to leasing arrangements, remarketing activity, or lender oversight affecting maintenance planning and transfer logistics.

The Bombardier CRJ-550 is a derivative of the CRJ family aimed at operators seeking regional jets with a premium cabin mix and economics suitable for frequency-oriented networks; this airframe’s performance figures—447 kts cruise and 41,000 ft ceiling—align with that niche. Competing models in the same market segment include reconfigured regional jets and smaller narrowbodies adapted for premium regional service. From a resale and maintenance perspective, airframes under trustee or corporate financing arrangements often face standardized heavy maintenance oversight and lease-return condition requirements that influence marketability and lifecycle costs.
