On May 21, Dow flew its Bombardier CRJ-900 (N892D) from Johnnie Volk Field in Schulenburg, Texas, to Baton Rouge Metropolitan Airport. The one-hour, eight-minute trip at 33,000 feet is a routine shuttle for the chemical company, which uses its growing corporate jet fleet to move engineering teams between manufacturing sites.
The same week, Dow added its first CRJ-900ER, one of the last to roll off the Bombardier production line, according to ch-aviation. The new aircraft, registered N890D, was ferried to Baton Rouge in late December and has since been active. Dow already operates two CRJ-700s, and the addition underscores a strategy of maintaining a dedicated regional jet fleet for rapid personnel transport.
Recent flight records show Dow's CRJ-900s frequently bouncing between Baton Rouge and Houston, with multiple round trips in the days before this flight. The pattern suggests a steady rotation of teams between the company's Louisiana and Texas operations, likely tied to ongoing engineering or project work.
