N448SW

This entry covers airframe N448SW, a Bombardier CRJ-200ER (CL-600-2B19) built by Bombardier Inc in 2002 with manufacturer serial 7678. The airframe is owned by SKYWEST AIRLINES INC, a corporation based in St. George, UT, US, and is registered on the US registry. The aircraft is configured and maintained for regional airline use; operational control and base activities have been associated with SkyWest's fleet deployment out of its Utah operations. No separate valuation figure is published here; condition notes are limited to the aircraft's in-service regional configuration and standard ER equipment fit.

The airframe is arranged in a 50-seat single-class regional layout intended for short- to medium-haul scheduled service, matching typical commuter and regional feeder missions. Avionics are fitted with the Collins Pro Line 4 suite, supporting common regional operational profiles and crew workflows. With a cruise speed of 424 kts and a range of 1,345 nm, the aircraft is suited to high-frequency point-to-point and hub-feed sectors, frequently operated from SkyWest's Utah bases. Maintenance considerations for this specific aircraft reflect CF34-3B1 engine support and Part 145 regional-line maintenance practices typical to 50-seat ER-configured CRJ-200s.

The Bombardier CRJ-200ER (CL-600-2B19) occupies the small regional jet niche, offering 50-seat capacity and higher cruise speed and ceiling than many turboprops, while competing against earlier Embraer regional jets and turboprop alternatives for short-range missions. Buyers and operators typically value its single-aisle passenger throughput, fleet commonality, and lower-seat regional economics; however, aging CRJ-200 airframes (this one being a 2002 build) require attention to airframe fatigue items and engine shop visit scheduling. Resale and secondary-market demand for ER variants often depends on avionics fit—here the Collins Pro Line 4—and remaining maintenance program status, both key determinants for continued airline or charter utility.
