N971SW

This entry describes airframe N971SW, a regional jet completed in 2004 as a Bombardier CRJ-200ER (CL-600-2B19) with manufacturer serial number 7947. The aircraft is owned by SKYWEST AIRLINES INC of St George, UT, US, and carries US registration marking in operator service; no prior ownership changes are published in the supplied data. Registry information and valuation records indicate a market value of $6,995,000, reflecting its status as an in-service, 50-seat regional transport configured to operator specifications. Condition highlights are limited to the supplied valuation and configuration details; specific maintenance histories or notable incidents are not published in the provided data.

The airframe operates in a typical 50-seat single-class regional configuration under the ownership of SKYWEST AIRLINES INC, reflecting an operator-specific layout used for short- to medium-haul scheduled services. Avionics fit is the commonly installed Collins Pro Line 4 suite for the CRJ-200 series, supporting standard regional airline operational requirements and crew procedures. With a design range of 1,700 nm and a cruise speed near 424 kts, the aircraft is routinely deployed on multi-leg regional networks, feeder routes, and high-frequency short-haul sectors from its operator base in St George, UT. Maintenance considerations follow CF34-3B1 engine programs and regional airliner structural checks customary to 2004-build CRJ-200ERs; unique amenities beyond the single-class seating and operator-specific layout are not published in the supplied data.

The Bombardier CRJ-200ER (CL-600-2B19) occupies the regional jet niche for 50-seat markets, offering modest operating costs and stage lengths suitable for feeder and thin route operations. Competing models in the same class historically include older regional jets and turbofan 50-seat types; buyer and charter demand is influenced by fleet age, avionics standardization such as the Collins Pro Line 4, and remaining hours on CF34-3B1 engines. Resale and maintenance considerations for this specific airframe center on its 2004 vintage, serial 7947, and the documented valuation of $6,995,000, which inform lifecycle planning and part-out versus continued service decisions.
