Model & Market Context
The airframe bearing tail number N551GJ is a Bombardier-built regional jet completed in 2009 with manufacturer serial number 10283. It is a Bombardier CRJ-550 (CL-600-2C11) configured and operated by GoJet Airlines, LLC (operator for United Express) and registered in the US, with the owner listed as a United States-based corporation. The type has been maintained in a 50-seat regional configuration tailored to premium short-haul service, and its registry reflects operation under a regional feed agreement (operator for United Express). No separate valuation or condition figures are provided in the data set.
The cabin on N551GJ is outfitted in a 50-seat, three-class layout — described as First, Economy Plus, Economy — specifically tailored for premium regional service and higher-yield short-haul missions. The cockpit carries a Rockwell Collins Pro Line 4 avionics suite, consistent with the CRJ700-series common fit and supporting typical regional airline operational requirements. In service with GoJet Airlines, LLC (operator for United Express), the aircraft is used primarily for short to mid-range regional operations within the United States under a regional feed model. Maintenance considerations for this airframe align with CF34-powered CRJ derivatives, with emphasis on component support and avionics commonality across the CRJ700 family.
As a derivative of the CRJ700 family, the Bombardier CRJ-550 occupies a niche for high-comfort, reduced-capacity regional missions where premium seating and per-seat service differentiation are valued. Its performance profile — including a cruise near 447 kts and a service ceiling of 41,000 ft — makes it competitive for fast regional trunk routes against similar 50-seat regional jets and high-comfort turbofan conversions. Buyer and operator demand for this configuration is influenced by slot-driven markets, regional feed contracts, and maintenance considerations tied to the General Electric CF34-8C5 powerplant and Pro Line 4 avionics commonality.
