N742SK

This airframe, registered as N742SK, is a 2005 production Bombardier CRJ-701ER (CL-600-2C10) built by Bombardier Inc. with manufacturer serial number 10197. The aircraft is owned by SkyWest Airlines Inc, a corporation based in St George, UT, US, and operates on a US registration. Built as a regional airliner in the mid-2000s, this specific frame retains operator-configured interior options and is valued at $4,000,000 in current listings. No additional public record of other registry actions or ownership transfers is provided in the supplied data.

The cabin of N742SK is fitted in an operator-configured regional layout, reflecting the typical 68–80 seat arrangements used by regional carriers and specifically noted here as an 80-seat configuration for this airframe. Avionics fit is in line with typical operator installations of the model, using the Rockwell Collins Pro Line suite as a common fit for flight deck systems. Operated by SkyWest Airlines Inc., the aircraft is typically employed on short- to medium-range regional sectors consistent with its 1,732 nm range and 447 kt cruise speed, connecting spoke airports to major hubs. Maintenance considerations follow the CRJ-series scheduled heavy maintenance and engine shop visit cycles for the GE CF34-8C5 powerplants; any unique modifications or amenities for this specific airframe are not published in the supplied data.

The CRJ-701ER belongs to the Bombardier CRJ family of regional jets, offering a performance niche between smaller regional jets and larger single-aisle airliners, optimized for higher-frequency regional services. Competing models in this sector historically include Embraer E-Jets and smaller variants of the CRJ family; demand for such frames is driven by regional carriers seeking 68–80 seat capacity with efficient turbofan engines like the GE CF34 series. From a resale and maintenance perspective, the 2005 build date and the airframe’s valuation at $4,000,000 reflect typical mid-life considerations for life-limited components, engine cycles, and avionics upgrade potential on a platform with established operator support networks.
