N533GJ

This entry describes airframe N533GJ, a Bombardier-built regional jet completed in 2005 with manufacturer serial number 10239. The aircraft is a Bombardier CRJ-550 (CL-600-2C11), registered in the US and owned by GoJet Airlines (operated on behalf of United Express), a USA-based corporation; the ownership is notable as operation on behalf of United Express rather than mainline service. The airframe is equipped with a Collins avionics suite and a three-class United Express cabin fit, and it is commonly deployed in short- to medium-range regional missions consistent with its seating and range characteristics. Registration and operator records indicate sustained regional airline utilization and typical maintenance cycles for carrier-operated fleet units.

The aircraft carries a United Express three-class 50-seat layout configured approximately 10 First, 20 Economy Plus, and 20 Economy, reflecting a premium-focused regional cabin philosophy on a 50-seat platform. Avionics are a Collins Pro Line 4 suite, supporting the operational requirements of carrier schedules and regional procedures. Typical missions for this airframe involve short- to medium-haul regional services operated from GoJet’s United Express allocation, with duty cycles and turnaround demands typical of high-frequency regional airline operations. Maintenance considerations align with CF34-8C5 engine support and common regional-jet airframe checks under airline operator programs.

The airframe is a variant of the Bombardier CRJ family tailored to provide a premium 50-seat regional experience under the CRJ-550 designation; it occupies a niche between smaller turboprops and larger single-aisle jets in terms of speed (474 kts cruise) and range (1,378 nm). Competing models in the regional market typically include other 50-seat and slightly larger regional jets offering similar trip profiles; buyer and operator demand centers on regional carriers and capacity-restricted markets. Maintenance and resale considerations for this specific airframe are influenced by its CF34-8C5 engines, three-class interior installation, and continuous operation under a United Express contract.
