N682SK

This entry describes airframe N682SK, a Bombardier CRJ-700 (CL-600-2C10) built by Bombardier Aerospace in 2002 with manufacturer serial number 10037. The airframe is registered in the US and is owned and operated by SkyWest Airlines Inc, a corporation based in St. George, UT, US. There are no other recorded ownership transfers in the supplied data; the aircraft is currently listed under SkyWest’s corporate registry. Valuation records list the airframe at approximately $4,000,000, reflecting its regional-jet role and age-related market position.

The airframe is outfitted in a typical 70-seat regional layout with 2×2 seating, with two-class options available in operator-configurable fits. Typical avionics fitment for this CRJ-700 is the Rockwell Collins Pro Line 4 suite, consistent with common regional-operator standards for navigation, flight management and communications. Operated from the owner’s home base in St. George, UT, the aircraft’s mission profile is standard short- to medium-haul regional service within a hub-and-spoke network, where the combination of the CF34-8C1 engines and a cruise speed of 447 kts supports frequent-sector turnarounds. Given the build year 2002, routine heavy maintenance, life-limited component tracking and adherence to regional operator maintenance programs are expected considerations for continued revenue service.

The Bombardier CRJ-700 (CL-600-2C10) occupies the regional jet performance niche between smaller turbofan regional types and larger narrowbody jets, offering 70 seats, trans-regional range and relatively high cruise speed for its class. Competitors in the same market segment include later regional variants and smaller narrowbodies adapted for regional operations; demand typically comes from regional carriers and charter operators seeking efficient short- to medium-stage lengths. Maintenance and resale considerations for a 2002-built example include engine life cycles for the CF34-8C1, avionics upgradeability of the Pro Line 4 suite, and the impact of seat-count and interior condition on residual value, reflected in the stated $4,000,000 valuation.
