Model & Market Context
This article covers airframe N975SW, a Bombardier-built regional jet registered in the United States. The airframe is a Bombardier CL-600-2B19 (CRJ-200ER), constructor serial number 7951, completed in 2004 by Bombardier Inc.. The aircraft is owned and operated by SkyWest Airlines Inc., a corporate owner based in Saint George, UT, US; it carries a U.S. registration (US) and is valued at approximately $2,000,000 in current market terms. Operated as part of SkyWest's regional fleet, the airframe reflects the late-model CRJ-200ER configuration and maintenance profile typical of 2004-build regional jets.
The cabin on N975SW is configured in a 50-seat single-class regional layout with a forward galley and an aft lavatory, reflecting the standard passenger accommodation for CRJ-200ER aircraft in scheduled regional service. Avionics are fitted with Collins Pro Line 4, a typical CRJ-200 suite that supports the aircraft's operational role in short- to medium-haul regional networks. Operated by SkyWest Airlines Inc. from its base in Saint George, UT, US, the airframe is normally deployed on high-frequency, short-range sectors that match its 1,345 nm range and 50-seat capacity. Maintenance considerations for this specific airframe reflect the CF34-3B1 engine support environment and the institutional heavy-maintenance programs common to regional carriers.
The Bombardier CL-600-2B19 (CRJ-200ER) occupies a niche as a 50-seat regional jet optimized for high-frequency short-haul routes, offering cruise speeds near 424 kts and service ceilings to 41,000 ft. Competing models in its era included 50-seat derivatives from Embraer and turboprops for shorter markets; demand for used CRJ-200ERs is driven by regional carriers and charter operators seeking low-capacity, efficient platforms. Resale and maintenance considerations for a 2004-built airframe like N975SW include lifecycle management of CF34-3B1 engines, avionics commonality with Pro Line 4 installations, and market valuation around $2,000,000, which reflects age, configuration, and operator-maintained records.
