N688SK

This airframe, registered as N688SK, is a Bombardier CRJ-701 (CL-600-2C10) built by Bombardier Inc. in 2006 with manufacturer serial number 10245. The airframe is owned and operated by SkyWest Airlines Inc of St. George, UT, US, and is maintained in the operator’s regional fleet configuration. Registered in the United States under civil registration US, the aircraft’s operational history reflects routine regional airline service rather than notable incident or special-purpose conversions. Condition and valuation notes are limited to standard SkyWest configuration and maintenance practices for CRJ-series regional jets.

The aircraft is fitted in a regional 69-seat passenger layout in SkyWest configuration, intended for short- to medium-haul regional missions connecting smaller hubs and feeding larger carriers. Avionics are a typical CRJ-700 fit with Rockwell Collins ProLine, supporting airline-standard navigation, communication, and flight-management tasks. With a 69-seat cabin and the listed range and cruise performance, the airframe is typically deployed on intra-national sectors and short transcontinental hops where frequency and schedule flexibility are prioritized over long-haul capability. Maintenance considerations follow CRJ-series schedules and common-component practices for the CF34-8C5B1 engines and ProLine avionics suite within SkyWest’s regional operations.

The CRJ-701 (part of the CRJ-700 family) occupies the regional jet niche between smaller commuter turbofan types and larger narrowbodies, offering 69 seats and a cruise speed of 447 kts with a service ceiling of 41,000 ft. Competing models in the same market segment include other regional jets with similar seat capacities and engine types; demand typically centers on regional airlines and capacity partners. Resale and maintenance considerations for this airframe reflect the commonality of the CF34 engine series and the widespread support network for the Rockwell Collins ProLine avionics, influencing lifecycle costs and marketability.
