N951LR

This airframe, registered as N951LR, is a 2007-built Bombardier CRJ-900ER (`CL-600-2D24`) manufactured by Bombardier Inc. and bearing manufacturer's serial number 15123. It is owned by Mesa Airlines, Inc., a corporation based in Phoenix, AZ, United States, and is entered on the US civil registry. The record for this airframe centers on its long-term operator relationship with Mesa Airlines and its configuration as a regional ER variant optimized for medium-range routes.

The specific cabin fit for this airframe is operator-dependent, typically accommodating between 76–90 passengers in a single-aisle regional layout; the interior details and exact seat count are determined by Mesa Airlines' configuration choices. Avionics on this airframe are from the Rockwell Collins / Pro Line family, with the precise Pro Line installation dependent on the operator’s selected fit. In service with Mesa Airlines out of its Phoenix, Arizona base, the aircraft is used on short- to medium-haul regional routes consistent with the CRJ-900ER's endurance and cruise capability, leveraging its 1,593 nm range and 447 kt cruise speed. Maintenance considerations for this specific airframe follow the CF34-8C5 engine maintenance programs and regional airliner airframe maintenance cycles typical for a 2007-built CRJ-900ER.

The Bombardier CRJ-900ER (CL-600-2D24) airframe represented by N951LR sits in the regional jet segment as a stretched, extended-range derivative designed to serve high-frequency short- to medium-range markets. Performance characteristics such as a 41,000 ft ceiling, 447 kt cruise speed, and 1,593 nm range define its mission profile and appeal to regional operators seeking higher capacity than smaller regional jets. Market considerations for this platform include operator-specific cabin configurations and avionics suites (Rockwell Collins / Pro Line family), lifecycle maintenance driven by CF34-8C5 engine programs, and resale interest tied to seat-count flexibility and operator maintenance history.
