N537GJ

This airframe, N537GJ, is a Bombardier-built regional jet configured as a Bombardier CRJ-550 (CL-600-2C11), manufactured by Bombardier Inc and completed in 2005 with manufacturer serial number 10237. It is owned by SKYWEST AIRLINES INC, a corporation based in St George, UT, US, and is registered in the US. The aircraft presents as an operator-configured regional type with 55 seats in a higher-yield, lower-density layout; it remains in airline service with SkyWest and retains U.S. registry status.

This specific CRJ-550 airframe employs an operator-configured multi-class cabin consistent with the CRJ-550 conversion concept, carrying 10 First / 20 Economy Comfort / 20 Economy in a 55-seat layout optimized for higher-yield regional markets. Avionics fit follows the Rockwell Collins ProLine suite typical of the CRJ-700 family, with operator-specific installation variations possible. Typical missions for this airframe involve short- to medium-haul regional trunk and feeder routes within the aircraft’s 1,378 nm range and cruise speeds near 447 kts, operating from SkyWest’s base in St George, UT, US and connecting to larger network hubs. Maintenance and operational considerations reflect the CF34-8C5B1 engine type and regional airliner utilization patterns, with fleet-level support provided by the corporate owner.

The CRJ-550 is a derivative of the CRJ-700 family repurposed into a 55-seat, higher-yield regional product; this airframe, serial 10237, occupies the niche between turboprops and larger narrowbodies for short-haul markets. Competing models include similarly sized regional jets and high-capacity turboprops from other manufacturers, but the CRJ-550’s cabin configuration and CF34 powerplants attract operators seeking premium regional service. Resale and maintenance considerations for this airframe align with CRJ-700 family commonality, factory lineage from Bombardier Inc, and operator-driven refurbishment or avionics variations.
