N146SY2015 Embraer 175LR

Overview

This entry describes airframe N146SY, an Embraer-built regional jet of the type Embraer 175LR (ERJ-170-200LR), serial number 17000491, completed in 2015 by Embraer S.A.. The aircraft is owned and operated by SkyWest Airlines, a corporation based in St. George, UT, US, and is registered in the US. Entered service in 2015 under the current operator, the airframe has a typical regional operator maintenance and utilization profile; specific valuation and detailed condition reports are not published in the supplied data.

Operations & Cabin

The cabin of N146SY is configured in a regional two-class layout with approximately 12 business / 64 economy (C12/Y64) seating, reflecting a short-to-medium haul passenger mission profile typical for the Embraer 175LR. Avionics are fitted with Honeywell Primus Epic, an airline fit commonly deployed across E175 fleets, supporting integrated flight, navigation and systems management for regional operations. Operated by SkyWest Airlines from its corporate base in St. George, UT, the aircraft is suited to connect smaller hubs and feed larger network carriers; its equipment and two General Electric CF34-8E turbofan engines align with routine regional-cycle maintenance programs and operator-standard checks. No unique interior amenities or special modifications beyond the two-class regional layout are published in the supplied data.

Model & Market Context

The Embraer 175LR (ERJ-170-200LR) family occupies the high-capacity regional jet niche, offering extended-range capability relative to shorter regional variants while retaining a 76-seat layout for dense short-haul markets. With a maximum cruise near 480 kts and a ceiling of 41,000 ft, the type competes with other 70-90 seat regional jets in airline fleets, where buyer and lease demand centers on regional network feeding and frequency-driven services. Maintenance and resale considerations for this airframe hinge on operator maintenance history, engine cycles on the CF34-8E units, and the commonality of airline-standard avionics such as Honeywell Primus Epic, which can favor fleet integration and remarketing.
