N707EV

This airframe, registered as N707EV, is a Bombardier-built regional jet completed in 2002 with manufacturer serial number 10057. The airframe is a Bombardier CRJ-701ER of the CRJ700 series, noted in its operational history as operated/converted as CRJ-550 in Delta Connection service. Ownership of the aircraft is held by SkyWest Airlines, Inc., a corporation based in St. George, UT, US, which acts as the operator and primary custodian of the airframe under US registry. The airframe’s configuration and conversion history to a 50-seat CRJ-550 layout are the most notable registry and cabin actions that distinguish this specific airframe within regional operator fleets.

This aircraft operates in a regional passenger role for SkyWest Airlines, Inc., configured after conversion to the CRJ-550 layout with a 10-first-class plus 40-economy cabin totaling 50 seats. The avionics fit is the Rockwell Collins Pro Line family, noted as a ProLine 4-type suite typical for CRJ-700-series installations, supporting standard regional airline navigation, flight management, and communications requirements. Typical missions for the airframe are short- to medium-range scheduled regional routes within the US network, leveraging the aircraft’s 1,732 nm range and 447 kts cruise speed for high-frequency shuttle and spoke services. Maintenance considerations for this specific airframe reflect the common CRJ700-series items: CF34-8C5 engine shop visits, structural checks associated with conversion work, and avionics lifecycle updates aligned with Pro Line systems.

The CRJ-701ER/CRJ-700 family occupies the regional jet performance niche between smaller turboprops and larger narrowbodies, offering faster cruise speeds and higher operating altitudes up to 41,000 ft. Competing models include Embraer E-Jets and smaller regional narrowbodies in the 50–90 seat class; the CRJ-550 conversion targets US scope clauses and premium cabin segmentation with reduced seating density. Buyer and operator demand centers on regional feeder operations and capacity-managed networks; resale and maintenance considerations for this airframe emphasize CF34 engine support, avionics commonality from the Pro Line suite, and the market impact of the CRJ-550 conversion on valuation and route flexibility.
