N455SW

The airframe bearing tail number N455SW is a Bombardier CRJ-200LR (CL-600-2B19) built in 2003, serial number 7760, registered in the US. The aircraft is owned by SkyWest Airlines Inc, a corporation based in St. George, UT, US, which has operated the airframe in regional airline service from that location as its primary operator/home base. Notable registry actions: Not published. Condition and valuation highlights specific to this airframe are not published; the fleet assignment and high-density role imply active commercial utilization rather than storage or conversion.

This aircraft is configured in a high-density single-class regional layout with up to 50 seats, featuring a forward galley and overhead bins suitable for short to medium stage lengths. Avionics fit is the Rockwell Collins / Collins Pro Line 4 suite, typical for the CRJ-200 series, supporting regional airline operational requirements and established crew interfaces. Typical mission profiles for this airframe include frequent short-haul rotations on regional networks, where the combination of the CF34-3B1 engines and the airframe’s range of 1,700 nm enable efficient point-to-point service within continental markets. Maintenance considerations reflect standard CRJ-200LR programme practices under SkyWest fleet maintenance, emphasizing cycle management and engine shop visits consistent with high-utilization regional operations.

The CRJ-200LR (CL-600-2B19) occupies the regional jet niche for 50-seat, short-to-medium haul operations, offering cruise speeds around 424 kts and a service ceiling of 41,000 ft. Competing models historically include other 50-seat regionals and small regional jets; buyer and charter demand has been shaped by airline network economics and scope clause constraints, making resale values sensitive to market segment dynamics. Maintenance and resale considerations for this airframe hinge on the CF34-3B1 engine support, airframe cycle accumulation, and the commonality of avionics such as the Collins Pro Line 4 across CRJ-200 operators.
