N164SY2016 Embraer ERJ-170-200LR

Overview

This airframe, registered as N164SY, is an Embraer ERJ-170-200LR (marketed as E175 / E175LR) built in 2016 by Embraer S.A. bearing manufacturer serial number 17000603. The aircraft is owned and operated by Skywest Airlines Inc, a corporate owner based in St George, UT, US, and is registered in the US. No public record of previous owners or major registry events is provided beyond the current corporate ownership.

Operations & Cabin

The airframe is configured in a typical 2-2 abreast cabin layout and, for this operator, supports a single-class up to 88 seats with 29-inch pitch, with operator-specific options for mixed two-class 76-seat layouts; the onboard service fit includes a forward galley and one to two lavatories depending on operator fit. Avionics are equipped with the Honeywell Primus Epic suite, which is typical for the E-Jets E1 series and supports advanced flight management and airline operations. Operated by Skywest Airlines Inc from its St. George, Utah base, this E175LR is typically employed on regional airliner missions, short- to medium-haul routes where 2,200 nm range and a cruise speed of 448 kts enable efficient stage lengths within U.S. and nearby international networks. Maintenance considerations follow regional airline schedules for GE CF34 engines and E-Jet airframe cycles under corporate technical control.

Model & Market Context

The Embraer ERJ-170-200LR (E175/E175LR) occupies the regional jet niche for operators requiring capacity in the high-70s to high-80s seats with transcontinental capability in some configurations. Competing models in the same mission space include smaller variants of larger single-aisle types and regional derivatives from other manufacturers, but the E175LR’s combination of 41,000 ft ceiling, efficient GE CF34 propulsion, and Honeywell Primus Epic avionics makes it attractive for regional carriers and major-airline partners.
