N449SW

This airframe, registered N449SW, is a 2002-built Bombardier CL-600-2B19 CRJ-200ER with manufacturer serial number 7699. The airframe is owned and operated by SkyWest Airlines Inc., a corporation headquartered in St. George, UT, US, which represents the documented ownership and operator/home base association for this specific aircraft. There are no publicly listed registry actions or major transfers for this serial beyond the current corporate ownership; detailed maintenance status and market valuation are Not published. The aircraft’s documented configuration and airframe identity place it squarely in regional airline fleet service with standard ER equipment for its series.

The cabin for N449SW is a typical 50-seat single-class regional layout described as operator-configurable, reflecting the common CRJ-200ER interior used by regional carriers for short- to medium-haul schedules. In service with SkyWest Airlines Inc., the aircraft predominantly supports regional airline networks feeding larger hubs, performing frequent short sectors that leverage its 1,345 nm range and cruise speed of 424 knots for efficient turnarounds. Avionics and specific avionics fit for this serial are operator-dependent and not published here; maintenance considerations for this airframe follow the CRJ-200ER family program, including routine checks driven by utilization and the CF34-3B1 engine maintenance cycle. No unique cabin amenities beyond the standard single-class regional configuration are documented.

As a member of the Bombardier CL-600-2B19 CRJ-200ER family, N449SW occupies the regional jet niche optimized for high-frequency short-haul routes and slot-constrained markets where 50-seat capacity is economically suitable. The airframe’s twin GE CF34-3B1 engines provide a typical thrust rating of 9,140 lbf each, supporting cruise of 424 kts and a service ceiling of 41,000 ft, characteristics that have historically competed with similarly sized regional jets from manufacturers offering EMB-145 family types and older regional turbofan designs. Buyer and lessee demand in the 50-seat market is sensitive to airframe age and maintenance history; for a 2002-built airframe like 7699, resale and operation considerations emphasize remaining cycles, life-limited components, and operator maintenance records.
