N709BR

This entry covers airframe N709BR, a Bombardier-built regional jet completed in 2003 with manufacturer serial number 7850. The airframe is owned by SkyWest Airlines Inc. and is registered in the US, with the operator located in St George, UT, US; no other ownership changes are published for this unit. Registry and valuation records list a current estimated market value of $2,500,000, reflecting its status as an in-service regional airliner within a secondary market bracket.

This airframe is configured in a 55-passenger single-class regional layout (operator-specific) consistent with short-haul commuter operations; the seating reflects typical regional airline density for the CRJ-200 family. Avionics for this installation adhere to the common CRJ-200 fit with Collins Pro Line 4 (typical CRJ-200 installations), supporting regional IFR routings and airline operational procedures. As operated by SkyWest from its St George, UT location, the aircraft is principally suited to high-frequency, short-to-medium stage length sectors where quick turnarounds and single-class service are standard. Maintenance considerations align with CF34-3B1 twin-engine servicing and line/rotational checks customary to regional fleet operations.

The airframe is an example of the Bombardier CRJ-200ER (CL-600-2B19) family, a dedicated regional jet class optimized for 50–60 seat markets with cruise performance and a service ceiling appropriate for regional lanes. With a range of 1,645 nm, cruise of 424 kts, and a 41,000 ft ceiling, this model occupies the short-to-medium haul niche for regional carriers and codeshare operations. Current market value at $2,500,000 places it in the used regional-jet market where buyer demand is influenced by airframe age, engine life, and retrofit costs; these factors also drive maintenance and resale considerations for prospective operators.
