N824SK

This entry covers airframe N824SK, a Bombardier CRJ-900 (CL-600-2D24) built in 2008 with manufacturer serial number 15208. The airframe is owned by SKYWEST AIRLINES INC, a corporation based in St George, UT, US, and is operated from that operator's U.S. regional network; the aircraft carries a US registration. No notable registry actions or changes in ownership have been published for this specific airframe, and specific valuation or condition reports for this tail number are Not published.

The aircraft is certificated in the fixed-wing multi-engine category and typically operates in a regional single-aisle configuration; while the CRJ-900 type supports operator configurations commonly between 76 and 90 seats, this specific airframe is recorded with 95 seats. Cabin fit for the CRJ-900 series follows a typical regional layout optimized for short- to medium-haul sectors; SkyWest commonly configures similar airframes to 76 seats for regional franchise flying, but this airframe’s seating reflects alternate operator layout choices. Avionics fit for CRJ-700/900 family aircraft is typically the Rockwell Collins ProLine 4, which supports the navigation, communication and flight management requirements of frequent regional-sector operations. The aircraft’s mission profile centers on short- to medium-range regional services from SkyWest’s bases, requiring routine heavy-line and component-level maintenance consistent with high-cycle regional use.

The Bombardier CRJ-900 (CL-600-2D24) occupies the regional jet performance niche between smaller CRJ variants and larger single-aisle mainline types, offering a balance of speed, range and capacity for regional airlines; this airframe cruises at 447 kts with a maximum certified ceiling of 41,000 ft. Competing models in the same market space include stretched regional jets and the smallest single-aisle types from other manufacturers, with demand driven by regional carriers and franchise operations. Maintenance and resale considerations for a 2008-built CRJ-900 like N824SK typically emphasize engine life, airframe cycles and avionics standardization—here, the use of General Electric CF34-8C5 engines and common ProLine avionics supports fleet commonality. The aircraft’s range of 1,593 nm positions it for flexible regional routing, making it a practical asset for carriers operating dense, short- to medium-haul networks.
