N915FJ

This airframe, registered as N915FJ, is a Bombardier CRJ-900ER (CL-600-2D24) built in 2004 with manufacturer serial number 15015. The aircraft is owned by MESA AIRLINES INC, a corporation based in Phoenix, AZ, US, and is registered in the US as a fixed-wing multi-engine regional jet. The airframe has appeared in operator listings with multiple cabin configurations over its service life, including previous high-density layouts listed as Y86 and later as C9Y70, reflecting reconfigurations for differing commercial missions. No extraordinary registry actions are noted in the supplied data; the record emphasizes typical regional operator ownership and role rather than special preservation or incident history.

The cabin on this specific CRJ-900ER is described as a single-aisle regional layout in a high-density economy arrangement, with historical operator listings showing Y86 and later C9Y70 configurations, indicating shifts between higher-capacity and mixed-class cabin planning. Avionics fit is reported as Rockwell Collins ProLine, the typical CRJ-900 fit, with many operators having ProLine 4 installations; this airframe would operate within that avionics baseline for regional airline operations. Typical mission profiles for this airframe include short- to medium-range regional services, point-to-point feeder routes, and high-frequency shuttle rotations from a base consistent with its owner, Mesa Airlines in Phoenix. Maintenance considerations for this airframe align with CF34-8C5 engine support and CRJ-900 ER structural and systems checks standard to regional jet fleet operators.

The Bombardier CRJ-900ER occupies the regional jet performance niche between smaller regional types and larger narrowbodies, offering around 90–100 seats, transcontinental-short range capability, and efficient cruise at approximately 447 kts and a service ceiling near 41,000 ft. Competing models include stretched regional jets and smaller mainline narrowbodies in airline fleet planning; buyer demand often focuses on fleet commonality, engine support (CF34 series), and cabin flexibility as illustrated by this airframe’s multiple listed configurations. Resale and maintenance considerations emphasize engine lifecycle, avionics standardization (ProLine family), and airframe hours/cycle history typical to operators such as Mesa Airlines.
