N154SY2016 Embraer ERJ-170-200LR

Overview

This airframe, registered as N154SY, is an Embraer ERJ-170-200LR (marketed as the E175LR) built in 2016 with manufacturer's serial number 17000556. The airframe is owned by Skywest Airlines Inc, a corporation based in St George, UT, US, and is operated in SkyWest's regional fleet; acquisition by Skywest Airlines Inc is the principal ownership event recorded for this registration. The U.S. registry entry for this airframe lists a high-density single-class configuration of 88 seats, and the aircraft is equipped and maintained to support typical regional airline utilization; registry records and fleet status indicate standard commercial regional-operator condition consistent with its build year and role.

Operations & Cabin

The cabin on this airframe is recorded as a high-density single-class layout with 88 seats, reflecting its use on short- to medium-haul regional routes where capacity is prioritized. The flight deck uses the E-Jets typical glass cockpit, fitted with Honeywell Primus Epic avionics, supporting modern navigation, surveillance, and flight-management capabilities required for dense regional operations. With a cruise speed of 480 kts and a maximum practical range around 2,200 nm, the airframe is deployed on multi-stop feeder routes and transcontinental regional sectors within the limits of regional network scheduling. As a corporate-owned, operator-flown aircraft in the U.S. registry, maintenance and operational considerations follow SkyWest’s regional heavy- and line-maintenance practices for CF34-powered E-Jets.

Model & Market Context

The Embraer ERJ-170/175 family occupies the 70-88 seat regional jet segment, offering a balance of range and fuel efficiency for point-to-point regional markets; the LR (long-range) variant extends mission flexibility to longer thin-haul sectors. Typical competitors include stretched regional jets and smaller narrowbodies in similar seat classes; the E175LR’s CF34-8E5 engines and Honeywell avionics support commonality advantages for regional operators. For buyers and lessors, considerations include airframe utilization since 2016, seat-density configuration (88), and CF34 maintenance cycles when assessing resale or redeployment value in the regional market.
