N460SW

This entry covers the specific airframe bearing tail number N460SW, a Bombardier CRJ-200ER built in 2003 with manufacturer serial number 7803. The airframe has been operated in the regional airline environment and is owned by SkyWest Airlines Inc, a corporation based in Saint George, UT, US, with the aircraft carrying a US civil registration. Registry and operator records identify it as a service-configured, high-utilization regional jet valued at approximately $2,500,000 in current market appraisals, reflecting age, configuration, and engine status. No other ownership changes or notable incidents are published for this specific airframe in the supplied data.

The airframe carries a single-class high-density regional cabin configuration configured for approximately 50–55 economy seats, entered in records as 55 seats, supporting high-density short- to medium-haul operations typical of regional feeder routes. The installed avionics suite follows the CRJ-200 series fit, listed as the Collins Pro Line system, which supports proven regional airline operational workflows and crew training common to SkyWest operations. With a cruise speed near 424 kts and a range of 1,345 nm, the airframe is suited to sector lengths typical of regional networks, including banked shuttle rotations and multi-leg day utilization patterns. Maintenance and dispatch considerations for this airframe center on CF34 turbofan health monitoring and adherence to regional heavy-usage maintenance intervals consistent with airline-operated CRJ-200ER examples.

The airframe is a member of the Bombardier CRJ-200 family, positioned in the regional jet niche for 50–seat class point-to-point and hub-feed missions. Competing types historically include other 50-seat jets and larger turboprops on cost-sensitive routes; the CRJ-200’s strengths include speed and airport performance while resale values are influenced by airframe age, engine cycles, and dense single-class interiors. Given its manufacture date of 2003, serial 7803, and current valuation of $2,500,000, market interest typically skews to operators seeking economical capacity and commonality with CF34-powered regional fleets, while long-term resale or part-out considerations reflect continuing maintenance demands and regulatory factors affecting older regional jets.
