N161SY2016 Embraer 175LR

Overview

This airframe, registered as N161SY, is an Embraer 175LR (ERJ-170-200LR) built in 2016 by Empresa Brasileira de Aeronáutica S.A. (Embraer) with manufacturer serial number 17000569. The aircraft is owned and operated by SkyWest Airlines Inc, a corporation based in St. George, UT, US, and carries a United States registration. The asset history for this airframe shows standard regional operator stewardship with no additional registry events published in the supplied data; its condition and serviceability are aligned with typical in-service regional fleet practices for a 2016-build E175LR.

Operations & Cabin

The airframe is fitted in a Typical SkyWest single-class regional layout, operated in a 70-seat in-service configuration while certificated for a maximum seating of 88; this reflects operator seating optimization for regional frequency and yield management. Avionics aboard follow a typical E175 fit with Honeywell Primus Epic, supporting modern regional navigation, FMS and flight management requirements. Mission profiles for this airframe are consistent with SkyWest’s regional network, short- to medium-haul trunk and spoke routes, where the E175LR’s range of 2,200 nm and cruise of 489 kts permit both high-frequency short segments and longer thin transcon or international legs where needed. Maintenance considerations align with twin CF34-8E5 fleet commonality, supporting operator-level scheduling, component pooling and line-replaceable-unit practices.

Model & Market Context

The Embraer 175LR occupies the regional jet performance niche between smaller regional jets and larger narrowbodies, offering a balance of seat capacity and stage length useful to regional carriers and major airline partners. Competing types in airline fleets historically include smaller-configured versions of the E-Jet family and 70-90 seat regional variants from other manufacturers. Buyer and resale demand for well-maintained E175LRs tends to favor aircraft with established operator records; the combination of GE CF34-8E5 engines and common avionics like the Honeywell Primus Epic supports predictable maintenance paths and aftermarket support, factors important in valuation and remarketing of a 2016-build regional jet.
