N898SK

This entry covers airframe N898SK, a regional jet built in 2007 as serial number 15110 by Bombardier Inc. The airframe is a Bombardier CRJ-900LR (CL-600-2D24) configured and registered in the US. The airframe is owned by SKYWEST AIRLINES INC (a corporation based in St George, UT, US), and has been operated within SkyWest’s fleet profile since acquisition; no other public ownership changes are recorded in the supplied data. Registry and operational records specific to maintenance status or valuation are not published in the available dataset.

The airframe is delivered in a high-density single-class regional layout consistent with its type certificate, described for this model as accommodating approximately 76–95 seats depending on airline fit; the specific entry lists 95 seats for this example. Avionics are fitted with the Rockwell Collins Pro Line 4 suite, supporting regional airline operational requirements and common pilot training flows within fleets operating similar Collins glass cockpits. Typical mission profiles for this LR (long-range) variant emphasize medium-range regional hops where a balance of passenger capacity and extended stage length (up to 1,828 nm) is required; cruise operations are normally conducted near 447 knots and up to 41,000 ft cruise altitudes when traffic and weight allow. Maintenance considerations align with CF34-series engine lifecycle programs and fleet-common avionics support used by regional operators; no unique amenities or modifications are documented in the provided information.

The Bombardier CRJ-900LR (CL-600-2D24) occupies the regional jet niche for operators needing higher seat counts and extended range versus smaller regional jets. In airline planning it competes with reconfigured regional and stretched narrowbody types for dense short- to medium-haul markets. Demand from regional carriers and leasing companies focuses on platforms with proven CF34 propulsion and Rockwell Collins avionics support, factors that influence maintenance scheduling and resale considerations for airframes like N898SK. Resale and retrofit potential typically hinge on seat configuration, avionics standards, and engine cycles; specific market valuation for this individual airframe is not published.
