GoJet Airlines is a privately held regional airline operating as United Express under a capacity purchase agreement with United Airlines. The airline flies approximately 56 Bombardier CRJ-550 aircraft across 4 domiciles, with approximately 500 active pilots represented by the International Brotherhood of Teamsters (IBT). GoJet is headquartered in Bridgeton, Missouri (near St. Louis Lambert International Airport), and is a subsidiary of Trans States Holdings, Inc. Rick Leach, the airline's founder, continues to serve as President.
For interview purposes, the simplest way to frame GoJet is this: it is the launch operator and exclusive operator of the CRJ-550 — Bombardier's innovative 50-seat reconfiguration of the CRJ-700 with first-class seating, extra legroom Economy Plus, and increased overhead bin space. GoJet flies exclusively for United Airlines and offers a stable, single-partner regional career with competitive work rules and a Teamsters contract. The airline celebrated its 20th anniversary in September 2025 and remains one of the healthier independent regional carriers in the current market.
