N454SW

This airframe, registered as N454SW, is a Bombardier CRJ-200LR (CL-600-2B19) built in 2003 with manufacturer's serial number 7749. It is owned and operated by SkyWest Airlines Inc, a corporation based in St George, UT, US, and has remained on the United States registry throughout its in-service life. The type has a standard regional carrier maintenance and utilization profile; for this specific airframe the operator history is straightforward, with continuous service under SkyWest and no publicly noted change of ownership or export. Condition and valuation particulars are operator-held and not published here, but the airframe reflects the typical age-related maintenance regime of early-2000s CRJ-200LRs.

The interior of N454SW is configured in a single-class 50-seat regional layout with a forward galley and a rear lavatory, a common arrangement for short- to medium-haul regional operations. Avionics aboard are from the Collins Pro Line family, the typical fit for in-service CRJ-200LRs, supporting regional IFR routes and airline-standard flight-deck procedures. Operating from SkyWest’s base environment, the aircraft is typically deployed on high-frequency, short- to medium-range missions within a 1,700 nm envelope and is optimized for quick turnarounds and high daily utilization. Maintenance considerations reflect the CF34-3B1 engine lifecycle and structural fatigue monitoring consistent with early-2000s regional jets.

The Bombardier CRJ-200LR sits in the regional jet niche as a 50-seat, twin-engine product targeted at short- to medium-haul routes where frequency and seat-mile efficiency matter. Competing models historically include variants of the Embraer ERJ-145 family and other small regional jets; demand for 50-seat types has varied with scope-clause dynamics and airline fleet strategies. For operators and prospective buyers, common considerations involve CF34 engine shop visits, airframe fatigue hours accrued since the 2003 build year, and the availability of Collins Pro Line avionics spares and support when evaluating maintenance or resale prospects.
