N109SY2014 Embraer ERJ-175LR

Overview

This entry documents airframe N109SY, an Embraer ERJ-175LR (E175LR) built in 2014 with manufacturer's serial number 17000404. The aircraft is recorded as owned by Skywest Airlines Inc, a corporation based in St. George, UT, US, and is registered in the US. No additional registry actions or transfers have been published for this specific tail number. Condition and valuation details for this individual airframe are not published.

Operations & Cabin

The airframe is configured in a 76-seat dual-class cabin typical of United Express operation: 12 First / 16 EconomyPlus / 48 Economy. Operated by a regional operator domiciled in St. George, UT, the airframe is suited to short- to medium-haul regional schedules and high-frequency slot operations feeding mainline hubs. The twin CF34-8E5 turbofan installation supports efficient stage lengths up to the listed range, while the 76-seat layout is optimized for frequent turnarounds and high-utilization route networks. Routine operator-level maintenance and component support follow the common regional-carrier practices for the ERJ-175 family; specific maintenance records and avionics fit for this serial are not published.

Model & Market Context

The Embraer ERJ-175LR occupies the 70-90 seat regional jet niche, offering a balance of per-seat economics and mainline-like passenger amenities for regional feed. With a cruise speed of 447 kts and a service ceiling to 41,000 ft, the type competes with similar regional variants from other manufacturers in point-to-point and slot-constrained markets. Buyer and charter demand typically centers on airlines replacing older 50- to 70-seat types or expanding regional capacity; resale and maintenance considerations for this airframe align with fleet commonality and the availability of OEM and third-party support for the CF34-8E5 engine series.
