N911FJ

The airframe bearing tail number N911FJ is a Bombardier CRJ-900ER (CL-600-2D24) built by Bombardier Inc. in 2003, serial number 15011, and registered in the US. The airframe is owned and operated by Mesa Airlines, Inc., a corporation based in Phoenix, AZ, US, which has maintained the type in regional scheduled service. Recorded ownership and operational control have remained with Mesa Airlines, Inc., with regular line maintenance and registry renewals consistent with U.S. regional carrier practice. Condition and valuation highlights reflect a typical early-2000s CRJ-900ER presently configured and maintained for revenue regional operations.

The aircraft is configured in the typical regional layout for the CRJ-900ER, optimized for short- to medium-haul point-to-point and frequency-intensive routes operated from Mesa Airlines’ Phoenix hub. Avionics fit is Collins Pro Line 4 (typical for CRJ family), supporting regional operational requirements, FMS navigation, and airline-standard communications and surveillance. The twin-engine CF34-8C5 package provides the thrust necessary for high-frequency turnarounds and operations into constrained airports commonly served by Mesa; maintenance considerations follow the CRJ-900ER inspection intervals and component shop visit cycles typical for an airframe of its build year. Cabin and operational configurations support a single-class passenger layout with airline-specific galley and service fixtures as installed by the operator.

The Bombardier CRJ-900ER (CL-600-2D24) occupies the regional jet niche between smaller regional jets and larger narrowbodies, offering extended-range capability relative to earlier CRJ variants while retaining efficient short-field performance. Competing models in its class include stretched variants of other regional jets and smaller mainline narrowbodies serving similar sector lengths; demand centers on regional carriers and wet-lease/charter operators. Resale and maintenance considerations for this 2003 airframe include component life-limited parts, avionics obsolescence mitigation, and the market value sensitivity to operator maintenance history and remaining structural life.
