N768SK

This airframe, registered as N768SK, is a Bombardier CRJ-701ER (Canadair CL-600-2C10) built in 2006 with manufacturer serial number 10234. The aircraft is owned by SkyWest Airlines Inc, a corporation based in St. George, UT, US, and is operated within the United States registry (US). As a 69-seat regional jet in airline service, its history is defined by operator-centric configuration and line-maintenance cycles typical of regional carriers; current ownership by SkyWest Airlines Inc represents its known civil service identity.

The aircraft is outfitted in a regional 69-seat single-class layout described as Regional 69-seat single-class regional layout (operator-configured economy seating), reflecting an airline-configured high-density economy cabin suitable for short- to medium-haul sector utilization. Avionics fit is the family-typical Rockwell Collins ProLine, aligning with CRJ-700 series operational commonality for crew training and avionics support. With a maximum operating ceiling of 41,000 ft and a cruise speed near 447 kts, this airframe is typically deployed on regional and short transcontinental sectors where frequency and quick turnarounds are prioritized; maintenance considerations center on CF34-8C5 engine shop visits and operator-driven component life limits tied to high-cycle usage.

The Bombardier CRJ-701ER (Canadair CL-600-2C10) occupies the regional jet niche between smaller regional aircraft and larger single-aisle jets, offering 69 seats and a trans-regional range of 1,732 nm. Its performance—driven by twin GE CF34-8C5 engines producing 13,790 lbf each—targets frequent-short-haul airline schedules where speed and turnaround efficiency are important. In secondary markets, CRJ-700 family types like this one are assessed for residual value based on cycles and maintenance status, with avionics commonality (Rockwell Collins ProLine) and operator support influencing resale and redeployment prospects.
