N856AS

This airframe, registered as N856AS, is a Bombardier CL-600-2B19 (CRJ-200LR) built in 2000 with manufacturer serial number 7404. The aircraft is owned by SKYWEST AIRLINES INC, a corporation based in St George, UT, US, and retains a United States registration. Maintenance and operational records for this specific ship reflect typical regional-airline utilization for a two-engine regional jet of its vintage; no further notable registry actions or extraordinary valuation events are published for this airframe.

The aircraft is configured in a single-class regional layout consistent with operator-specific interiors, accommodating approximately 50–55 passengers and entered service in 2000 under the ownership of SKYWEST AIRLINES INC. Avionics fit for this individual airframe is Not published; operationally the CRJ-200LR is routinely used on short- to medium-haul regional sectors that match its 1,700 nm range and 55-seat capacity, typically feeding larger hubs from secondary markets. Given the airframe’s age, maintenance considerations align with established ageing-aircraft programs for CF34-powered regional jets, including scheduled engine and airframe inspections, while cabin amenity levels reflect an operator-specific regional configuration rather than long-haul features.

The Bombardier CL-600-2B19 (CRJ-200LR) occupies a performance niche as a 50–60-seat regional jet optimized for frequent short-haul rotations, offering cruise speeds near 424 kts and a service ceiling of 41,000 ft. Competing models in its segment historically include earlier-generation regional jets from Embraer and other CRJ variants; demand in the buyer and lease market is typically driven by regional carriers seeking low-capacity turbine jets for thin routes. Resale and maintenance considerations for a 2000-built airframe with GE CF34-3B1 engines focus on lifecycle engine support, airframe fatigue management, and interior refurbishment to meet contemporary passenger expectations.
