N822SK

This airframe, registered as N822SK, is a 2008-built Bombardier CRJ-900LR (CL-600-2D24) with manufacturer serial number 15203. The aircraft is owned and operated by SkyWest Airlines, Inc., a corporation based in St. George, UT, US, and remains on the US civil registry. The airframe’s configuration, delivery year and operator assignment place it squarely in regional airline service since new, with continuous single-operator ownership noted in available records. Maintenance and operational status reflect standard regional-carrier usage patterns for its year and model.

The cabin for this specific airframe is fitted in a typical 76-seat dual-class layout, exemplified by a 12 business / 20 Comfort / 44 economy distribution, providing a regional airline mix of premium and standard seating. Avionics are equipped with the Rockwell Collins Pro Line 4 suite featuring a six-screen EFIS/EICAS installation, supporting advanced flight-deck situational awareness and airline standard avionics redundancy. In operational use with SkyWest Airlines, Inc., the CRJ-900LR is suited to short- to medium-haul regional routes consistent with its 1,828 nm range and cruise speed of 447 kts, operating between hub and spoke city pairs under frequent daily cycles. Maintenance considerations for this airframe align with CF34-8C5 engine program requirements and regional fleet heavy-check rotations typical for late-2000s-built CRJ-900s.

The Bombardier CRJ-900LR occupies the regional jet niche emphasizing higher capacity than CRJ-700 series models while retaining airport flexibility for thinner markets. Competing types include stretched regional jets and smaller mainline narrowbodies in route markets where seat count and block speed balance matters. Buyer and lease demand for 2008 CRJ-900s reflects operator appetite for proven regional workhorses; resale and maintenance economics hinge on airframe cycles, engine time on wing for the CF34-8C5 pair, and the presence of operator-specific cabin and avionics standards as found on N822SK.
