N826SK

This airframe, registered as N826SK, is a 2018-built Bombardier CRJ-900LR (type CL-600-2D24) carrying manufacturer serial number 15449. The aircraft is owned by SkyWest Airlines Inc (a corporation based in St George, UT, US) and operates in a regional carrier role under a Delta Connection configuration. The airframe is registered in the US and has been operated in the typical regional feed and short-haul network characteristic of SkyWest; no additional historic transfers or regulatory actions are published in the provided data. Condition and valuation specifics are not published for this individual airframe in the supplied dataset.

The cabin of this specific airframe reflects a typical Delta Connection regional layout with an operator-specific two-class split reported as 12 business / 58 economy = 70 total seats, aligning cabin service and boarding flows with regional jet standards. With a maximum cruise of 464 kts and a range of 1,622 nm, the aircraft is used primarily on short- to medium-range regional routes feeding major hubs and sustaining high-frequency sector rotations. Powered by two General Electric CF34-8C5 turbofans, maintenance planning follows CF34 fleet practices common to CRJ-900 operators, and the airframe’s 2018 manufacture year places it in a relatively modern configuration for avionics and systems standardization among SkyWest’s regional fleet. Operations typically base around the operator’s network schedules from its St George, UT location and other assigned hubs.

The Bombardier CRJ-900LR family occupies the 70-seat regional jet niche, offering a balance of economy seating and stage lengths suited to relay and thin routes that larger narrowbodies cannot economically serve. Competing models in the same mission space include variants of the Embraer E-Jet family; buyers and lessors evaluate CRJ-900s on fleet commonality, CF34 engine maintenance status, and remaining structural life. For this airframe—built in 2018 and configured for Delta Connection—resale and lease considerations will emphasize engine cycles, interior condition of the two-class cabin, and operator-backed maintenance records when assessing marketability.
