GoJet Contributed by: Pierre Gagnon, Director, Business Development, Aftermarket Commercial Services
The world of aviation is undergoing unprecedented change. But with change comes opportunity. No regional airline illustrates the benefits of embracing change like GoJet Airlines, which has reinvented itself through its association with United Airlines and MHIRJ. Headquartered in St. Louis, Missouri, GoJet flies to over 50 destinations in the U.S. throughout the East Coast and Midwest, proudly flying for United Express. As the current sole operator of the revolutionary CRJ550 aircraft, GoJet is at the forefront of redefining the passenger experience by offering the world’s only two-cabin 50-seat regional aircraft, specifically designed for business and leisure travelers who want true first-class seating. This new aircraft version elevates the travel experience for passengers, providing GoJet with an exciting path forward to growth in partnership with United Airlines. Established in late 2004 by Trans States Holdings, GoJet initially flew United Express branded flights out of United Airlines’s Chicago O’Hare hub to replace departing United Express carrier Atlantic Coast 06 | MHIRJ WINGSPAN
Airlines. In 2005, GoJet took delivery of their first CRJ700 aircraft and began scheduled passenger services. When the CRJ550 concept was developed in 2018, United Airlines quickly recognized the potential of
this aircraft for their regional network and gave GoJet the go-ahead for 54 aircraft. GoJet will acquire an additional 20 aircraft bringing the total fleet to 74 CRJ550 aircraft flying for United Airlines by fall of 2022.
