N920FJ

This airframe, registered as N920FJ, is a Bombardier CRJ-900ER (CL-600-2D24) built by Bombardier Inc. in 2004, with manufacturer serial number 15020. The aircraft is owned by Mesa Airlines Inc, a corporation based in Phoenix, AZ, US, which has operated the type as a regional jet for short- to medium-haul routes; the current operator and home base remain Phoenix under U.S. registration. No major public registry actions or incident histories specific to this airframe are published. Condition and valuation particulars for this individual airframe are not published; it is generally maintained to air carrier standards under Mesa Airlines’ maintenance program.

The airframe, in typical CRJ-900ER operator configuration, is used primarily on regional and thin transcontinental sectors consistent with Mesa Airlines’ network, serving short- to medium-range markets from its Phoenix operating base. Cabin layouts for CRJ-900ERs commonly feature mixed first/coach or all-economy single-aisle seating optimized for up to roughly 76–90 passengers depending on operator fit; the precise seat count for N920FJ is not published. Avionics aboard this airframe conform to a typical operator installation of the Rockwell Collins Pro Line 4 suite, supporting modern flight management, navigation, and communication functions. Maintenance considerations mirror the CRJ-900ER fleet standard, emphasizing CF34-8C5 engine support, avionics modularity, and regional-cycle airframe checks under Mesa’s continuing maintenance program.

The CRJ-900ER (CL-600-2D24) fills a regional-jet performance niche with extended-range ER capability, combining efficient twin-engine cruise performance and high single-aisle utilization for short-to-medium sectors. Competing models in this market include later regional variants and reconfigured narrowbodies offering similar seat-mile economics; demand for used CRJ-900ERs is typically driven by regional carriers, charter operators, and specialized cargo conversions. Resale and maintenance considerations emphasize CF34 engine support, avionics updates such as Pro Line 4 compatibility, and airframe hours/cycles typical of early-2000s production units.
