Model & Market Context
This article covers airframe N541GJ, a Bombardier-built regional jet delivered in 2005 with manufacturer serial number 10238. The aircraft is a Bombardier CL-600-2C11 (CRJ-550) variant, registered in the US and owned by SKYWEST AIRLINES INC, a corporation based in St George, UT, US. The registry record notes a baseline model and seating of 55, while the airframe has been operated in a three-class, 50-seat United Express layout for commercial service; this operational reconfiguration is a notable registry/operational distinction for the airframe. Condition and valuation details are not published in the provided dataset.
As configured for United Express operations, N541GJ has been fitted in a three-class layout when operated as a CRJ-550, marketed and used with a 50-seat cabin consisting of First, Economy Comfort, and Main sections despite the registry baseline listing 55 seats. Typical mission profiles for this airframe type include short to medium regional routes where higher frequency and premium seating classes are emphasized over maximum seat count. The aircraft is maintained and operated from SkyWest’s bases, with owner/operator records pointing to St. George, Utah as the corporate location; maintenance considerations emphasize CF34 series engine support and regional fleet commonality. Avionics fit and specific interior amenity listings are not published in the provided data.
The Bombardier CL-600-2C11 (CRJ-550) occupies a niche in the regional market as a capacity-limited, premium-configured derivative of the CRJ family, trading off seat count for enhanced passenger comfort and premium classes. Competing models in the 50–70 seat regional segment include modified regional jets and smaller narrowbodies trimmed for higher-yield, short-haul routes. Buyer and charter demand for this variant is influenced by operator strategy toward premium regional service and by lifecycle costs tied to CF34 engine support and airframe age; this airframe’s 2005 build year and corporate SkyWest ownership are relevant factors for maintenance planning and resale considerations.
