N170SY2015 Embraer E175LR

Overview

This airframe, registered as N170SY, is an Embraer-built regional jet completed in 2015 with manufacturer serial number 17000483. It is an Embraer E175LR (ERJ-170-200LR) and is registered in the United States to the corporate owner Skywest Airlines Inc, based in St. George, UT. The airframe’s registry and corporate ownership place it in commercial regional operations; the transition to SkyWest’s fleet aligns it with large regional-network support and scheduled operator maintenance practices. No separate sale or export events are published for this specific airframe.

Operations & Cabin

The aircraft is configured in a dual-class 76-seat cabin, typically arranged as 12 business / 64 economy, suitable for higher-density regional corridors while offering a small premium cabin for business traffic. Avionics are fitted with the Honeywell Primus Epic integrated flight deck, supporting advanced navigation, systems monitoring and airline operational procedures used by SkyWest. With a design range of 2,200 nm and a cruise speed of 473 kts, the E175LR airframe is used on medium-length regional routes where speed and passenger capacity are balanced against airport frequency; typical missions include short- to medium-haul scheduled services connecting spoke cities to major hubs. Maintenance considerations reflect common-line maintenance practices for GE CF34-powered regional jets and operator-level large regional carrier programs.

Model & Market Context

The Embraer E175LR (ERJ-170-200LR) occupies the upper end of the regional-jet category, offering 70-80-seat capacity with a 2,200 nm range and 41,000 ft ceiling, a performance niche between smaller regional jets and larger single-aisle airliners. Competing types include similarly sized variants from other families, and the LR (long-range) specification makes this airframe attractive for carriers needing extended stage-length on thinner routes. Resale and maintenance considerations for this serial-series aircraft generally track CF34 engine support and Embraer component programs, with operator-backed maintenance regimes (such as those typical at SkyWest) improving fleet utilization and resale appeal.
