The cabin of this CRJ-550 is outfitted for 70 passengers in a three-class-like layout: 6 Business / 16 Economy Plus / 48 Economy, reflecting a regional configuration emphasizing premium and extra-legroom seating ahead of a larger economy cabin. Typical mission profiles for this airframe include short- to medium-range regional trunk routes within the continental United States, exploiting the aircraft’s cruise speed and range for high-frequency shuttle and feed operations into hub airports. Avionics specifics and unique onboard amenities for this tail number are not published; maintenance and operational oversight follow GoJet Airlines’ regional standards while flying under United Express branding, with logistical support coordinated under the terms of the lease agreement with United Airlines.

The Bombardier CRJ-550 (a variant of the CL-600-2C11 family) occupies a niche in regional air transport by offering a 70-seat cabin with increased passenger comfort relative to higher-density regional jets, while retaining CF34-powered performance suitable for 41,000 ft cruise ceilings. Competing platforms in the same market segment include stretched regional jets and smaller narrowbodies configured for short-haul premium service. Buyer and lease demand typically centers on network carriers and regional operators seeking higher-yield regional missions; maintenance and resale considerations hinge on CF34 supportability, airframe hours, and the aircraft’s lease status, which can affect transferability and market valuation.
