N558GJ

This airframe, registered N558GJ, is a 2003-build Bombardier CRJ-550 (CL-600-2C11) bearing manufacturer serial number 10101. The aircraft is owned and operated by Sky West Airlines Inc, a corporation based in Saint George, UT, US, and carries a US civil registration. The airframe’s basic registry and ownership status is current with the United States registry; valuation and detailed condition reports are Not published. The unit’s operational history at the same regional operator reflects its intended use in a 50-seat, premium-configured regional role.

The cabin of this CRJ-550 is fitted to the operator’s CRJ-550 layout with 50 seats, typically arranged as 10 Business, 20 Premium and 20 Economy, reflecting the aircraft’s role on higher-yield regional trunk and thin transcontinental missions. Avionics equipment is operator-specific but is based on the Rockwell Collins ProLine suite, allowing for commonality with other regional fleet types and reducing pilot training overhead. With a maximum cruise near 447 kts and a range of 1,378 nm, this airframe is optimized for short to medium regional sectors where premium seating density and frequency are prioritized. Maintenance considerations follow Bombardier and GE CF34-8C1 program requirements as managed by the operator, including usual cyclic inspections for 2003-build regional jets.

The CRJ-550 is a variant of the CRJ family reconfigured to a 50-seat, premium-service niche, offering higher per-seat yield compared with denser regional jets. It competes functionally with other premium regional offerings and small narrowbodies on short thin routes, balancing GE CF34-8C1 reliability with Bombardier’s regional airframe legacy. Buyer and charter demand for this airframe type tends to favor operators seeking premium regional service and fleet commonality; resale and maintenance considerations include CF34 spare support and typical airframe-age inspections for a 2003 serial 10101 airframe.
