N909EV

This entry documents airframe N909EV, a regional jet built in 2002 with manufacturer serial number 7658. The aircraft is a Bombardier CRJ-200LR (CL-600-2B19) manufactured by Bombardier Inc and is registered in the US. It is owned by SKYWEST AIRLINES INC, a corporate owner based in St George, UT, US, and has been operated in the regional airline role under that corporate ownership. Registry and operator details indicate standard commercial regional-use configuration and maintenance oversight aligned with the owner-operator’s policies.

This specific airframe typically carries a single-class regional passenger layout configured for 50–55 passengers per operator configuration, and for N909EV the seating is set to the higher end of that range at 55 seats. The aircraft’s mission profile centers on short- to medium-range regional routes within the aircraft’s 1,700 nm capability and cruise performance around 424 kts, flown from the owner’s base in St George, UT, US. Cabin fit and avionics are operator-configured; maintenance considerations reflect the aircraft’s dual GE CF34 turbofan installation with 9,220 lbf per engine and common CRJ-200LR support requirements. Operational use emphasizes frequent short sectors and quick turnarounds typical of commuter and regional feeder services.

The Bombardier CRJ-200LR (CL-600-2B19) family occupies the regional jet niche for 50–60 seat markets, offering higher cruise speeds and altitudes — up to 41,000 ft — relative to turboprops while remaining optimized for short-haul economics. Competing types in the same mission band include similarly sized regional jets from other manufacturers; demand focuses on regional airlines and charter operators that value commonality and runway performance. Resale and maintenance considerations for this airframe reflect its GE CF34 powerplants and the long-established CRJ-200 support network, with operator-configured seating and regional utilization patterns affecting market valuation.
