N716SK

This airframe, N716SK, is a Bombardier-built regional jet delivered in 2004 with manufacturer serial number 10180. It is a member of the CRJ700-family and is recorded as owned by SkyWest Airlines Inc (corporation) with a corporate location in St George, UT, US. The aircraft carries United States registration (US) and, per available data, remains associated with its listed corporate owner rather than showing additional publicized transfers. Operated and managed under the SkyWest corporate ownership from St George, Utah, the airframe is representative of early-2000s CRJ-700 series production.

The cabin configuration for this airframe is operator-dependent; as operated by SkyWest Airlines Inc, the type commonly uses a single-class regional layout with operator configurations typically in the range of 69–80 seats and certificated up to 80 seats. Avionics are fitted with the commonly installed Rockwell Collins ProLine-series suite found on CRJ700-family aircraft, supporting typical regional airline navigation, communication and flight management tasks. Typical mission profiles for this airframe include short- to medium-haul regional routes within the aircraft’s 1,702 nm range, operating from the SkyWest operating base in St George, UT and other regional hubs. Maintenance and cabin equipment are managed to operator standards; specific unique amenities or modifications for this airframe are not published.

The Bombardier CRJ-701ER (CL-600-2C10) occupies the regional jet performance niche, balancing trans-regional range and an 80-seat capability with twin General Electric CF34 engines and a service ceiling of 41,000 ft. With a cruise speed of 447 kts, the type suits frequent short sectors and high-utilization regional schedules. Buyer and operator considerations for this family emphasize fleet commonality, regional payload-range economics, and the availability of maintenance support for the CF34 powerplants and ProLine avionics. Resale and operational value are influenced by configuration flexibility (certificated to 80 seats) and established regional airline demand.
