N719EV

The airframe bearing tail number N719EV is a Bombardier-built regional jet delivered in 2003, manufacturer's serial number 10099, and is recorded as owned by SKYWEST AIRLINES INC, a corporation based in St George, UT, US. This particular airframe is a factory variant listed as the Bombardier CRJ-550 (CL-600-2C11), a conversion/derivative in the CRJ family intended for regional premium service. FAA registry entries identify the aircraft as a United States-registered fixed-wing multi-engine type and list a 55-seat cabin configuration; operator CRJ-550 configurations are often reconfigured to 50-seat premium layouts for revenue management and scope clause compliance. The airframe is equipped with avionics typical of later CRJ-700-series installations and is powered by twin high-bypass turbofan engines, factors that influence its market valuation and operational condition assessments.

The cabin is listed in FAA records as a regional single-aisle seating layout with 55 seats; operators of the CRJ-550 platform commonly employ a 50-seat premium reconfiguration to optimize passenger comfort and meet contractual scope limits. Avionics fit on this airframe follows the Rockwell Collins ProLine suite typical for CRJ-700-series derivatives, supporting standard regional airline navigation, communication, and flight-management tasks. Operated by SKYWEST AIRLINES INC out of its St George, Utah corporate base, this aircraft is suited to short- to medium-haul regional missions on high-frequency intra- and inter-regional routes where a balance of passenger capacity and premium product is required. Maintenance considerations align with CF34-8C series engine support and scheduled airframe inspections inherent to 2003-built regional jets.

The Bombardier CRJ-550 (CL-600-2C11) occupies a niche between 50- to 70-seat regional markets, offering translatable performance metrics—1,732 nm range, 447 kts cruise, and a 41,000 ft ceiling—competitive with other regional jets powered by GE CF34 variants. Competing models in the same operational role include smaller Embraer regional jets and modified CRJ-700/900 platforms. Buyer and charter demand typically centers on airlines seeking premium regional service with low trip costs; resale and maintenance considerations focus on CF34 engine lifecycle, avionics commonality (ProLine), and interior reconfiguration potential to meet evolving seat-count and premium-cabin strategies.
