Overview
This airframe, registered as N178SY, is an Embraer ERJ-175LR (E175LR) built in 2016 with manufacturer serial number 17000555 by Embraer S.A.. The aircraft is owned by Skywest Airlines Inc, a corporation based in St George, UT, US, and is presented in the registry as a US-registered regional jet. The airframe is maintained and configured in an operator layout associated with Alaska/SkyWest regional operations; registry entries list an 88-seat operator configuration. No public record of other ownership changes is included in the data provided.
Operations & Cabin
The cabin on N178SY is described as an operator configuration for Alaska/SkyWest, a single-class regional layout with the registry listing 88 seats, reflecting typical high-density regional service. Avionics fit is the Honeywell Primus Epic suite, the usual installation for E170/175-family aircraft, supporting modern flight management and integrated systems monitoring for regional operations. With a typical cruise around 480 kts and a range of 2,200 nm, this airframe is suited to short- to medium-haul regional routes operated from SkyWest bases and their partner networks. Maintenance considerations align with CF34-8E5 engine support and E175LR airframe maintenance programs; the operator configuration emphasizes passenger capacity over premium amenities typical of single-class regional service.
Model & Market Context
The Embraer ERJ-175LR occupies the regional jet niche for high-frequency, short- to medium-range markets where seat density and commonality with E170/175 fleets are priorities. Competing models in this segment include similar 70-90 seat regional jets from other manufacturers; the E175LR’s ceiling of 41,000 ft and the CF34-8E5 powerplant combination deliver a balance of performance and operating economics for regional carriers. Buyer and operator demand typically focuses on fleet commonality and seat capacity, while resale and maintenance considerations center on engine shop visit cycles for the GE CF34 series and avionics commonality afforded by the Honeywell Primus Epic fit.
