N916EV

The airframe bearing registration N916EV is a Bombardier CRJ-200ER (CL-600-2B19) built by Bombardier Aerospace (Canadair) and completed in 2003, serial number 7757. It is owned and operated by SkyWest Airlines (operator) and is registered in the United States. Entered service in 2003 and remaining with a major regional operator, this airframe has the typical operational history of a purpose-built regional jet deployed on short-to-medium sector routes across the operator’s U.S. network. Registry details list the operator and U.S. location; no separate sale or civilian-to-civilian ownership transfers are noted in the provided data.

The aircraft is outfitted in a Typical 50-seat single-class regional layout (high-density economy), reflecting standard regional carrier seating density for short-haul schedules. Avionics are equipped with Collins Pro Line (Pro Line 4 typical on CRJ-200 series), supporting regional airline navigation, communications, and flight-management needs. In SkyWest service, the CRJ-200ER configuration suits frequent short sectors and high-cycle turnarounds between hub-and-spoke points, providing efficient single-class capacity on thinner routes. Maintenance considerations for this specific airframe follow CRJ-200ER fleet practices driven by CF34-3B1 engine support and avionics commonality across the series, facilitating parts and systems support within the operator’s regional fleet.

The Bombardier CRJ-200ER (CL-600-2B19) occupies the 50-seat regional jet niche, offering competitive cruise speed (424 kts) and reach (1,345 nm) for regional airline operations. Its two General Electric CF34-3B1 engines and 41,000 ft ceiling provide performance comparable to legacy regional jets, while the Pro Line avionics suite maintains operational relevance for carriers focused on high-frequency short-haul markets. Competing models historically include 50-seat variants from other manufacturers and smaller regional jets; resale and maintenance considerations typically center on airframe cycle life, engine shop visits, and avionics upgrade paths, factors that apply to this airframe in SkyWest’s U.S.-based operations.
