GoJet

GoJet Airlines maintains a commitment to safety, underpinning its operational philosophy.

• Recent safety record and any notable incidents (or lack thereof): GoJet Airlines has a "quite positive safety record" with a safety rating of four out of five stars from certain airline rating websites. The airline prioritizes safety and has implemented comprehensive safety measures. While its record is generally good, there have been some minor incidents:
• On November 9, 2021, a GoJet CRJ7 (CRJ700) flight from Washington National to Newark returned to Washington safely due to a lavatory smoke indicator, with no passenger injuries.
• On December 1, 2021, a GoJet CRJ-550 experienced an engine shut down in flight on a route from St. Louis to Newark.
• On July 1, 2025, a GoJet CRJ-700 flight from St. Louis to Chicago returned to St. Louis shortly after takeoff due to a lavatory smoke warning; all passengers were safely evacuated. The FAA is investigating.
• On February 12, 2025, a GoJet Airlines jet skidded off a taxiway at Lambert Airport due to icy conditions.
• Additional incidents reported in 2025 include a loss of cabin pressure and a cabin pressurization failure on separate CRJ-550 flights, and smoke on board another CRJ-550 flight.
• An earlier incident on April 18, 2010, involved a Bombardier CL-600-2C10 experiencing excessive aileron forces, which later resolved in descent, allowing a safe diversion. In all reported incidents with passenger involvement, no injuries were sustained by passengers.

• Regulatory certifications (IOSA, FAA compliance, EU safety list status): GoJet Airlines is an FAA-certified Airline and rigorously adheres to FAA regulations. In May 2024, GoJet received FAA Part 145 certification to operate a large aircraft repair station. This certification allows the airline to conduct heavy maintenance, repair, and overhaul (MRO) services internally and for other airlines, reinforcing its commitment to safety and maintenance standards.

• Fleet age and maintenance reputation: While some of the CRJ-550 aircraft are conversions of CRJ700s, with the oldest being nearly 20 years old, GoJet emphasizes high-quality maintenance. The new FAA Part 145 certified MRO facility focuses on specialized maintenance programs, interior and composite work, and aircraft modifications, with an emphasis on "efficient turnaround times, quality workmanship, and personalized service." This investment demonstrates a strong commitment to maintaining its fleet.

• Overall safety assessment based on available data: GoJet Airlines' overall safety assessment is positive, built on strict compliance with FAA regulations, comprehensive pilot training, and meticulous maintenance protocols. The airline's recent investment in its own FAA Part 145 certified MRO facility further highlights its dedication to enhancing safety and operational excellence.

• Any safety awards or recognitions: GoJet Airlines was recognized as the top regional air carrier in the 2024 Fly Quiet Recognition Awards by the O'Hare Noise Compatibility Commission (ONCC). This award acknowledges the airline's environmental stewardship in minimizing noise during overnight operations. While not strictly a safety award, it reflects strong operational practices. Additionally, GoJet Airlines received the 2025 Cabin Concept of the Year award for its CRJ-550 from the Onboard Hospitality Awards, recognizing its innovative design and passenger satisfaction, which indirectly contributes to overall flight quality.
