N912FJ

The airframe bearing tail number N912FJ is a 2004-built Bombardier CRJ-900ER, construction serial 15012, manufactured by Bombardier Inc. The aircraft is owned and operated by Mesa Airlines, Inc., a corporation based in Phoenix, AZ, US, and is registered in the US. Registry and operator records indicate this airframe has served in high-density regional operations and carries an estimated market value of $10,000,000; it has remained with a single corporate operator in the U.S. regional network since acquisition, a continuity that simplifies traceability for maintenance and resale considerations.

This airframe operates in a high-density regional cabin layout; example configurations reported include Y86, with a later noted reconfiguration to C9Y70, reflecting a move toward mixed-class service options on select sectors. The flight deck is equipped with a Rockwell Collins / ProLine-type integrated avionics suite, consistent with CRJ-900 airframes of this vintage, supporting typical regional operational avionics requirements and common airline pilot training pipelines. Typical mission profiles for this aircraft under Mesa Airlines, Inc. include short- and medium-range scheduled regional services from its Phoenix, AZ operating base, exploiting the airframe’s cruise speed and range for multi-sector daily utilization. Maintenance considerations align with CF34-8C5 engine support programs and regional heavy-check cycles commensurate with high-utilization operators.

The Bombardier CRJ-900ER sits in the regional jet performance niche offering extended-range capability relative to earlier CRJ variants, competing with stretched regional jets and smaller narrowbodies for capacity and economics. Buyers and operators value the type for efficient short-haul rotation, though resale and aftermarket demand are affected by fleet rationalization and the airframe’s high-density configurations. Maintenance and resale considerations for this specific airframe include CF34 engine lifecycle status, the airframe’s age since 2004, and its history of operator continuity, factors that influence marketability and long-term operating cost projections.
