N983SW

This article covers airframe N983SW, a 2004-built regional jet of serial number 7961, manufactured by Bombardier Inc. The aircraft is a Bombardier CRJ-200ER (CL-600-2B19) and is registered in the US; its recorded owner is the corporation SKYWEST AIRLINES INC located in St George, UT, US. Ownership is publicly recorded as SKYWEST AIRLINES INC and the airframe has been operated in a single-class regional configuration registered for 55 seats. Registry details indicate standard commercial regional use under a U.S. corporate operator; no separate valuation or special-condition notations are published in the supplied data.

The airframe is configured in a single-class regional layout with approximately four-abreast seating and is registered for 55 seats, reflecting a typical commuter/regional capacity for short-to-medium sectors. Avionics fit is noted as Collins ProLine, a common fit for later CRJ-200s, supporting regional airline operations and standard navigation/communication suites for controlled-airspace routes. Typical missions for this specific aircraft profile include short-haul regional schedules within an airline network, point-to-point hops and frequency-driven services from its operator base in St George, UT. Maintenance considerations for this airframe align with CF34 turbofan support and CRJ-200ER scheduled inspections; the corporate operator status implies organized heavy- and line-maintenance regimes under FAA oversight.

The Bombardier CRJ-200ER (CL-600-2B19) occupies the regional jet niche for high-frequency short-haul operations with a small narrow-body cabin and efficient twin CF34 engines producing about 8,729 lbf each. Competing types historically include other 50-seat regional jets and turboprops offering similar sector economics; demand among regional carriers and corporate operators has centered on reliability, fleet commonality and lifecycle maintenance costs. For this airframe, resale and maintenance considerations are driven by age (2004 build), airframe hours/cycles (not published) and continued CF34 support infrastructure, making operator record and maintenance status key factors in secondary-market valuation.
