N785SK

This airframe, registered as N785SK, is a Bombardier CRJ-700NextGen (CRJ-701ER) built in 2009 with manufacturer serial number 10285. The aircraft is owned by SKYWEST AIRLINES INC, a corporation based in St George, UT, US, and is registered in the US. Throughout its recorded life the airframe has been maintained in an airline-operated regional configuration; a noted re-configuration to operator C10Y40 was recorded in 2025. No public valuation or condition report is published for this specific airframe.

This CRJ-700NextGen airframe is outfitted in an operator two-class regional layout with approximately 69 seats; the operator recorded a re-configuration to an operator C10Y40 layout in 2025 indicating a shift in seating class balance. Typical avionics fit for this aircraft follows the family standard with Rockwell Collins Pro Line 4, supporting regional airline operational profiles. As a fixed-wing multi-engine regional airliner it is used on short- to medium-range routes consistent with its 1,434 nm range and cruise speed of 447 kts, operating from the owner’s base in St George, UT, US. Maintenance considerations align with fleet-level scheduling for engines and avionics common to the type, with twin GE CF34-8C5B1 turbines driving routine heavy- and line-maintenance cycles.

The Bombardier CRJ-700NextGen (CRJ-701ER) occupies the regional jet niche between smaller regional jets and larger single-aisle types, offering 69 seats and a service ceiling of 41,000 ft. Its competitors are other 60–90-seat regional jets that prioritize frequency and airport-pair economics over long-haul capability. Buyer and charter demand for airframes like N785SK is influenced by fleet commonality, engine type (GE CF34-8C5B1), and avionics standardization (Rockwell Collins Pro Line 4), all factors that affect maintenance planning and resale considerations.
