Model & Market Context
The airframe with tail number N978SW is a Bombardier CRJ-200ER (CL-600-2B19) completed in 2004 and carrying manufacturer serial number 7953. The aircraft is owned by SkyWest Airlines Inc (a corporation) and is associated with Saint George, UT, US as owner location; the registration is recorded as US. This specific CRJ-200ER has a documented configuration and service history consistent with regional airline operations; operated in SkyWest’s fleet it reflects the near-term operational posture of a typical 50-seat regional airliner. No public record of unusual registry actions or extraordinary condition reports is supplied for this airframe.
The cabin of N978SW is fitted in a typical 50-seat single-aisle regional passenger layout, with the operator-specific interior standard for this type. Avionics fit is described as Collins Pro Line, with operator-dependent variations and Pro Line 4 noted as common in such installations. With a 1,700 nm range and a cruise speed of 424 knots, this airframe is configured for short- to medium-range regional routes and high-frequency point-to-point sectors commonly flown by regional carriers. Maintenance considerations for this aircraft center on the twin General Electric CF34-3B1 turbofan engines and routine heavy checks consistent with regional airline utilization; operator base and maintenance scheduling reflect the practices of SkyWest Airlines Inc at its stated location.
The Bombardier CRJ-200ER airframe represented by N978SW occupies the 50-seat regional jet niche within regional network operations, offering transcontinental-feasible range for stage lengths typical of regional schedules. Its performance figures — 1,700 nm range, 424 kt cruise, and 41,000 ft ceiling — support efficient commuter and regional trunk missions. Market considerations for this model emphasize fleet commonality, engine support for the CF34-3B1, and the secondary-market dynamics tied to 50-seat regional economics; resale and maintenance outlooks for this serial are informed by its age (built 2004) and the operator-specific interior and avionics fit.
