N494CA

This airframe, registered as N494CA, is a 2003-built Bombardier CRJ-200ER (CL-600-2B19) with manufacturer serial number 7765. The aircraft is owned by SkyWest Airlines Inc, a corporation based in St George, UT, US, and has been operated in regional airline service typical for 50-seat type ratings. No public records of major registry transfers or notable incidents for this specific tail have been provided in the data set; ownership is recorded to SkyWest in St George. Condition and valuation specifics are not published in the supplied data.

The aircraft is fitted with a 50-seat single-class regional cabin in a 2-2 seating configuration, reflecting a high-density commuter layout used on short- to medium-haul routes. Avionics are reported as the Rockwell Collins ProLine suite (typical ProLine 4 fit), supporting regional airline operational requirements and common fleet-level maintenance practices. Typical mission profiles for this airframe include short regional hops within a 1,700 nm range and frequent daily cycles consistent with scheduled commuter service; cruise speed capability of 424 kts and a service ceiling of 41,000 ft allow efficient stage lengths and operational flexibility. Maintenance considerations for this specific CRJ-200ER align with the CF34-3B1 engine support chain and common component pools used by North American regional operators.

The Bombardier CRJ-200ER (CL-600-2B19) occupies the 50-seat regional jet niche, offering higher cruise speeds and altitudes than turboprops while maintaining airport access for regional markets. Competing types historically include the Embraer ERJ-145 family and later small regional jets in secondhand markets. Demand from regional carriers and charter operators often focuses on airframe-cycle history, engine time on wing for the GE CF34-3B1, and avionics upgrades such as ProLine suites when assessing maintenance and resale value.
