N751EV

This entry covers airframe N751EV, a Bombardier-built regional jet originally manufactured in 2004 with manufacturer serial 10163. The airframe is a factory-built Bombardier CL-600-2C10 (CRJ-700 series) that has been operated and modified in-service to a CRJ-550 configuration and is registered in the US. Ownership is recorded to corporation SKYWEST AIRLINES INC of St George, UT, US, and the aircraft is valued at approximately $6,000,000 in its current configuration. Originally delivered in a higher single-class CRJ-700 layout, the airframe was later reconfigured into the CRJ-550 dual-class interior while in service with the operator.

As configured in the CRJ-550 layout for SKYWEST AIRLINES INC, the cabin on N751EV carries 50 seats in a dual-class arrangement: 10 First / 20 Comfort+ / 20 Economy (50 total). The airframe retains a ProLine family avionics fit—commonly cited as ProLine 4 / Collins ProLine on CRJ-700 series aircraft—supporting regional airline operational requirements and common pilot training syllabi. Typical missions for this airframe are short- to medium-haul regional services within the aircraft’s published range of 1,378 nm, operating from the operator’s regional network base; cruise performance is listed at 447 kts with a service ceiling of 41,000 ft. Maintenance considerations include CF34-series engine support and lifecycle tracking associated with the airframe’s 2004 manufacture date and its in-service interior conversion.

The airframe belongs to the CRJ-700 family, a regional jet class positioned for sub-100-seat short- to medium-range markets where speed and airport performance are prioritized over widebody comfort. In its CRJ-550 modification, the aircraft targets carriers seeking differentiated onboard classes on high-frequency regional routes, while retaining the CF34 commonality that supports operator fleet economics. Competing models in this mission segment include Embraer E-Jet variants and smaller regional narrowbodies; resale and maintenance considerations for N751EV center on airframe age, CF34 engine economics, and the residual value implications of a 50-seat certified layout versus the original higher-density CRJ-700 arrangement.
