N681SK

This airframe, registered as N681SK, is a Bombardier CRJ-700 (CL-600-2C10 / CRJ-701) built in 2002 with manufacturer serial number 10036. The aircraft is owned and operated by SkyWest Airlines Inc (a Corporation based in Saint George, UT) and carries a United States registry (US). Maintenance, operation and deployment have followed typical regional airline practice for a SkyWest CRJ-700; operated by SkyWest Airlines Inc from its Saint George base under the US registry. There are no additional publicized registry actions or ownership transfers in the supplied data.

The cabin of this specific airframe reflects a typical SkyWest regional layout with approximately 69 seats and operator-configurable mixes often cited as 9/16/44 in two- or three-class arrangements depending on retrofits. The cockpit avionics fit for this CRJ-700 is the Rockwell Collins ProLine suite, consistent with common CRJ-700 equipment standards and supporting regional-operations navigation, communications and flight management. Operationally, the airframe is used on short- to medium-range regional routes where its 1,434 nm range and 447 kts cruise suit frequent-turn schedules and high daily utilization; typical missions emphasize quick turnarounds and high-cycle maintenance regimes. Given SkyWest’s operating model, maintenance considerations center on CF34-8C5 engine care cycles and airframe checks aligned with regional airline utilization rates.

The Bombardier CRJ-700 (CL-600-2C10 / CRJ-701) family occupies the 70-seat regional jet niche, offering a balance of speed, altitude capability to 41,000 ft, and economics for short- to medium-haul markets. Competing models in the sector include other regional jets from Embraer and smaller mainline narrowbodies adapted to regional flows. Buyer and secondary-market demand for CRJ-700s is influenced by airframe cycles, CF34 engine condition, and retrofit potential; resale and maintenance outlooks typically emphasize engine life remaining, avionics like the Rockwell Collins ProLine, and cabin configuration flexibility for airline-specific missions.
