N813SK

The airframe bearing tail number N813SK is a Bombardier CRJ-900ER (CL-600-2D24) built in 2006 with manufacturer's serial number 15099. This airframe is registered in the United States and is owned and operated by SkyWest Airlines Inc, a corporate operator based in St George, UT, US; the aircraft is maintained and utilized in SkyWest's regional fleet operations. Registry and operator records indicate standard commercial regional usage under SkyWest management, with no additional publicized transfers or lease events for this specific airframe. Condition and valuation notes are typical for a mid-2000s CRJ-900ER operated in a regional airline environment, reflecting standard airframe-hour driven maintenance cycles and operator-configured interiors.

The cabin of N813SK is configured in SkyWest's regional layout as an airline regional layout with a 76-seat single-aisle configuration, optimized for short- to medium-haul sector utilization. Avionics aboard this airframe follow the typical CRJ-900 fit with Rockwell Collins ProLine 4, supporting airline operational avionics standards for navigation, communications, and flight management. Typical missions for this airframe include regional feeder and shuttle routes within a network connecting larger hubs, operating at cruise speeds around 489 kts and altitudes up to 41,000 ft; these missions emphasize high-frequency, short-stage-length utilization. Maintenance considerations reflect the CF34-8C5 engine workcards and airframe checks consistent with mid-life regional jets operated in a high-utilization scheduled airline environment.

The Bombardier CRJ-900ER family occupies the regional jet performance niche, offering higher capacity than smaller regional jets while maintaining efficient short-to-medium range economics; N813SK exemplifies the standard ER configuration. Competitors in this market segment include stretched regional jets and entry-level narrowbodies that trade off capacity, range, and operating cost; the CRJ-900's strengths are familiar to regional operators seeking 70–90 seat capacity with established maintenance pools. Buyer and charter demand for mid-2000s CRJ-900s depends on airframe hours, engine shop visit schedule for CF34-8C5 units, and interior condition; resale and maintenance planning for this airframe are driven by SkyWest-configured systems and the commonality benefits of shared fleet support.
