N149SY2015 Embraer ERJ-170/175 LR

Overview

This entry covers airframe N149SY, an Embraer-built regional jet completed in 2015 with manufacturer serial number 17000495. The airframe is a member of the long-range variant family Embraer ERJ-170/175 LR (ERJ-170-200LR / E175LR) produced by Embraer S.A. and is registered in the US. The airframe is owned by Skywest Airlines Inc, a corporate owner based in St. George, UT, US, and has been operated in SkyWest’s regional network; delivery and any formal registry events are recorded under the U.S. registration. Public valuation and detailed condition records are not published in the supplied data, though the aircraft’s LR designation and serial history position it within the late-production ERJ-170/175 long-range cohort with standard airline utilization.

Operations & Cabin

The aircraft is certificated for up to 88 seats but is commonly operated in a United Express dual-class 76-seat layout (12 first / 64 main) for revenue service under regional airline utilization patterns. Typical mission profiles for this LR-configured airframe include medium-haul regional trunk routes where the 2,200 nm range and 430 kts cruise capability allow cross-state and limited trans-border sectors within North America. Avionics fit and specific interior amenities for N149SY are not detailed in the provided data; maintenance and operational control are administered by the corporate owner Skywest Airlines Inc from its St. George, Utah base, following standard regional-airline maintenance regimes for CF34-powered Embraer LR models.

Model & Market Context

The Embraer ERJ-170/175 LR family occupies the regional jet performance niche for sub- to mid-range trunk routes, offering high single-aisle capacity with lower trip costs than larger mainline aircraft. Competing types include smaller variants of regional jets and the Bombardier/CRJ family in similar seat-capacity bands. Buyer demand for LR-configured ERJ-170/175 airframes is shaped by network needs for range and capacity; maintenance considerations center on CF34 engine support and airframe lifecycle factors tied to serial 17000495 and cumulative regional utilization.
