N743SK

This article covers airframe N743SK, a Bombardier-built regional jet delivered in 2005 with manufacturer's serial number 10199. The airframe is owned by SKYWEST AIRLINES INC, a corporate owner based in St. George, UT, US, and carries a United States registration (US). The type is a Bombardier CRJ-701ER (CL-600-2C10) manufactured by Bombardier Inc.. Registry notes for this specific airframe record standard commercial regional airline operation under SkyWest; valuation and public condition appraisals are not published.

Airframe N743SK is typically configured for United/SkyWest regional operations and commonly operated in a 70-seat passenger cabin mix: 6 Business / 16 Economy Comfort / 48 Economy, although the airframe’s maximum certified seating is 80. The aircraft is fitted with a Rockwell Collins ProLine 4 avionics suite, supporting airline-standard navigation, communications and flight management for regional jet missions. Typical mission profiles for this airframe include short- to medium-haul trunk and spoke routes within the continental United States where SkyWest operates as a regional partner; these missions leverage the aircraft’s cruise speed of 447 kts and a ferry/mission range near 2,002 nm. Maintenance considerations align with CF34-8C1 engine support programs and regional heavy-check cycles standard to the CRJ family.

The Bombardier CRJ-701ER (CL-600-2C10) occupies the regional jet niche between smaller 50-seat regional jets and larger narrowbody airliners, offering extended-range ER capability and higher seating density compared with earlier CRJ variants. Competing aircraft in the same market space include stretched versions of regional jets from other manufacturers and small narrowbody types; demand is driven by regional airlines and capacity-optimized franchise operations. Maintenance and resale considerations for airframe N743SK reflect common CRJ factors: airframe hours and cycles, CF34-8C1 engine time, and avionics standardization with the Rockwell Collins ProLine 4, all influencing operator lifecycle and secondary-market value.
