Model & Market Context

This airframe, registered as N522GJ, is a 2003-built Bombardier CRJ-550 with manufacturer serial number 10079. The aircraft was built by Bombardier Inc. and is owned by GoJet Airlines, LLC (a United States corporation), operating on a US registration. The airframe presents as a purpose-converted regional-jet derivative maintained to a three-class 50-seat specification and is typical of CRJ-700 series conversions repurposed for premium regional service. Notable registry information is limited to its United States registration and corporate ownership; no additional publicized transfers or exotic registry actions are recorded in the supplied data.

The cabin of this specific CRJ-550 is configured in a three-class layout with 10 First / 20 Economy Plus / 20 Economy (50 total, three-class CRJ-550 layout), reflecting a focus on premium regional routes and higher-yield short-to-medium-haul missions. Avionics are fitted with the Collins Pro Line 4 (typical fit for CRJ‑700 series) suite, which supports standard regional airline navigation, communication, and flight-management functions. Operated by GoJet Airlines, LLC from its United States base, the aircraft is typically deployed on regional network sectors where a combination of premium seating and frequent frequency is required. Maintenance considerations align with CF34-powered regional jets and CRJ-700-series commonality, simplifying spares and support for operators with fleet commonality.

The Bombardier CRJ-550 is a niche, reconfigured variant derived from the CRJ-700 family, aimed at providing premium regional capacity with lower seat counts and higher per-seat service levels. With a cruise speed of 473 kts and a service ceiling of 41,000 ft, it sits in the regional jet performance envelope competing against smaller variants of Embraer E-Jets and other regional-class types. Market demand centers on airlines seeking premium regional product and schedule frequency rather than dense seating economics; resale and maintenance considerations favor operators with access to CF34 support and CRJ-700-series common parts infrastructure.
