N838SK

This article concerns airframe tail number N838SK, a Bombardier-built regional jet of serial number 15469 in the CRJ-900 family. The airframe is a Bombardier CRJ-900LR (CL-600-2D24) manufactured by Bombardier Inc. and registered in the US. Ownership is recorded to SkyWest Airlines Inc (a corporation based in Saint George, UT, US), which operates the aircraft in a Delta Connection configuration; no separate historical ownership transfers or notable registry actions are publicly documented for this specific tail. Condition and valuation details for this exact airframe are not published.

The aircraft is outfitted in a dual-class, 76-seat Delta Connection layout operated on behalf of Delta by SkyWest Airlines Inc. As a CRJ-900LR configured for regional feed, its typical mission profile includes short- to medium-haul scheduled services linking hub airports with regional cities within its 1,550 nm range and operating at cruise speeds near 447 kts up to a certified ceiling of 41,000 ft. The twin General Electric CF34-8C5 engines provide 14,510 lbf of thrust each, aligning with common maintenance practices and support networks for CF34-powered regional fleets. Specific avionics fit and bespoke in-cabin amenities for this airframe are not published beyond the operator’s dual-class Delta Connection cabin specification.

The Bombardier CRJ-900LR (CL-600-2D24) occupies a performance niche in the regional jet market, offering a 76-seat layout with extended-range capability suitable for high-frequency regional routes. Competing types in the same capacity/performance segment include variants of the Embraer E-Jet family. Demand from regional carriers and major-network partners typically centers on reliable, cost-effective short- to medium-haul operations; resale and maintenance considerations often reflect engine type commonality (CF34 series) and operator maintenance programs, factors applicable to this airframe operated by SkyWest Airlines Inc.
