Model & Market Context
N780SK is a 2009 Bombardier CRJ-701ER (CL-600-2C10), MSN 10277, operated for United Express by SkyWest Airlines and registered to SKYWEST AIRLINES INC. The airframe is a regional jet in ER specification with an 80-seat certificated capacity on FAA records and is configured/operated in SkyWest/United Express regional service patterns.
N780SK is powered by 2 × GE CF34-8C5B1 turbofan engines (≈13,790 lbf each) and is certificated for high-frequency regional rotations. Typical mission profiles are short to medium stage lengths (roughly 300–1,300 nm sectors) serving regional hubs; SkyWest operates this airframe primarily on United Express services in and out of Denver, San Francisco and California markets. The aircraft returned to service after a minor bird‑strike/windscreen incident in September 2024 and continues in scheduled regional service.
The CRJ-700 family is a 70–80 seat regional jet known for efficient regional network operations and high utilization; the Series 701ER extends range for longer thin‑route missions. Performance highlights include maximum cruise near Mach 0.825, typical cruise ~Mach 0.78 (~447 kts), service ceiling 41,000 ft and ER-range ~1,732 nm. Operators value the type for fleet commonality, short-field performance and low trip costs on regional sectors.
