N708EV

This entry documents airframe N708EV, a Bombardier-built regional jet delivered in 2002 with manufacturer serial number 10060. The airframe is a Bombardier CL-600-2C11 (marketed as the CRJ-550) built by Bombardier Inc. and registered in the United States. The aircraft is owned and operated by SkyWest Airlines Inc (a corporation based in St George, UT, USA), and has been maintained in service with that operator; ownership is held by SkyWest Airlines Inc. Valuation and public condition reports for this specific tail are not published.

The configured cabin on N708EV is a 50-seat layout arranged as 10 First / 20 Comfort+ / 20 Main (50 seats), reflecting a premium-oriented regional service mix rather than a dense commuter layout. Operated by SkyWest from its base in St George, UT, the airframe typically flies short- to medium-range regional sectors consistent with the CRJ-550’s mission profile and range capability of 1,378 nm and cruise speed of 447 kts. Avionics and maintenance standards conform to operator-managed regional airline requirements; specific fit and avionics suite details for this serial are not published. Routine maintenance considerations follow CF34-series engine programs and regional-operator heavy-check cycles under SkyWest’s maintenance control procedures.

The CL-600-2C11 / CRJ-550 family occupies the 50-seat regional jet niche, offering a balance of speed and airport performance for short to medium sectors with a high operational ceiling of 41,000 ft. Competing models in the segment typically include other regional jets and high-density turbofan regional aircraft adapted by mainline partners for premium regional flights. Market demand for configured 50-seat regional jets hinges on scope clauses, regional feed requirements and CF34-series maintenance economics; resale and maintenance considerations for N708EV will therefore reflect engine-life state, cabin configuration, and SkyWest’s continuing fleet strategy.
