N543GJ

This entry covers airframe N543GJ, a Bombardier-built regional jet registered in the United States. The airframe is a Bombardier CRJ-550 (CL-600-2C11) completed in 2006 with manufacturer serial number 10256, owned by GoJet Airlines (operating for United Express) and based in Bridgeton, MO, US. The aircraft carries a U.S. registration (US) and has been deployed in a regional feeder role; operation under contract for United Express defines its primary commercial assignment. Valuation and condition specifics are not published for this individual airframe.

The aircraft is configured with a 50-seat, premium-regional cabin laid out as 10 First / 20 Economy Plus / 20 Economy, matching the CRJ-550’s emphasis on a reduced-seat, higher-comfort regional product. Avionics fit for typical CRJ‑700-series operators is the Rockwell Collins Pro Line 4, supporting regional airline procedures and common fleet training. Operated by GoJet Airlines (operating for United Express) from its Bridgeton, Missouri base, the aircraft typically performs short- to medium-range feeder missions linking spoke cities to major hubs. As a purpose-configured 50-seat variant, maintenance scheduling and parts support align largely with CRJ-700 family practices while accommodating the slightly different interior and operational utilization.

The airframe belongs to the CRJ-550 derivative of the CRJ family, produced by Bombardier Inc., positioned as a premium, reduced-capacity regional jet with performance parameters suited to 1,300–1,400 nm sectors and high-frequency shuttle routes. Competing types include similarly sized regional jets and smaller narrowbodies in feeder roles; the CRJ-550’s niche is elevated passenger experience over maximum density. Buyer and charter demand for purpose-configured 50-seat CRJs depends on network strategy and scope clauses; resale and maintenance considerations follow CRJ-700 series logistics and CF34 engine support networks.
