N740EV

This article describes airframe N740EV, a Bombardier-built regional jet delivered in 2004 with manufacturer's serial number 10151. The airframe is a Bombardier CRJ-701ER (CL-600-2C10) and is registered in the US to corporation SkyWest Airlines, Inc., based in St. George, UT, US. The airframe's documented ownership history is singular in the provided data, showing current corporate ownership and operator alignment with SkyWest; no other registry transfers or notable incidents are listed in the supplied data. Condition and valuation details are not published in the provided dataset.

The cabin for N740EV is configured in a typical operator-fit single-class regional layout seating 69 passengers, reflecting the common SkyWest passenger density for short- to medium-haul missions. Avionics are fitted with Rockwell Collins ProLine 4, with the caveat that operator-specific fit can vary; the provided data notes the avionics as operator-fit rather than a manufacturer-mandated configuration. With a maximum certified ceiling of 41,000 ft and a cruise speed of 447 kts, the airframe is optimized for regional trunk routes and frequent turnaround operations typical of SkyWest’s network. Maintenance considerations for this specific airframe focus on the twin CF34 powerplants and standard regional-jet support cycles; no unique modifications or amenities are recorded in the supplied information.

The Bombardier CRJ-701ER (CL-600-2C10) occupies the regional jet performance niche as a stretched variant in the CRJ family, offering modest range and higher seat counts relative to smaller regional types. With a range of 1,303 nm, the type targets short- to medium-haul sectors where frequency and seat density are prioritized over long-range capability. The use of General Electric CF34 engines and widely adopted avionics such as Rockwell Collins ProLine 4 supports continued aftermarket support, though resale and entry-into-service considerations typically hinge on engine cycles, interior condition, and operator-specific avionics fits.
