This entry profiles airframe N899SK, a Bombardier CRJ-900 (CL-600-2D24) manufactured by Bombardier Inc. and completed in 2006 with manufacturer's serial number 15112. The airframe is owned and operated by SkyWest Airlines Inc., a corporate operator based in St. George, UT, US, and is maintained within the operator's regional fleet. Recorded ownership and operation are with SkyWest Airlines Inc.; there are no alternate operators or registry transfers published in the supplied data. The aircraft's configuration and specifications reflect its role as a regional airliner in Delta Connection service.

The airframe operates in a Delta Connection 76-seat cabin configuration with a three-class split: 12 First, 20 Comfort+, and 44 Main Cabin, arranged as 1-2 seating in First and 2-2 seating in Comfort+ and Main Cabin. Typical mission profiles for this airframe include short- to medium-range regional routes consistent with its 1,503 nm range and 430 kts cruise speed, connecting regional airports to primary hubs. As part of SkyWest's fleet based in St. George, UT, US, the aircraft supports scheduled regional passenger operations under the Delta Connection brand. The twin GE CF34-8C5 engines are a common regional jet powerplant, informing routine maintenance cycles and parts support strategies for this specific airframe.

The Bombardier CRJ-900 (CL-600-2D24) family occupies the 70–100 seat regional jet segment, offering higher capacity than regional turboprops while retaining economics suited to thin-to-mid density routes. Competing models include stretched variants of regional jets and smaller single-aisles, with buyers valuing the CRJ-900 for its seating density and regional performance. For resale and maintenance considerations, airframes like N899SK reflect operator-specific cabin fits and engine type (GE CF34-8C5), factors that influence aftermarket demand, parts commonality, and lifecycle maintenance planning.
