Operations & Cabin

The specific cabin on this airframe is an 88-seat airline/high-density configuration, consistent with regional feeder and high-demand short-haul schedules. Avionics fit is Honeywell Primus Epic, supporting a modern integrated flight deck and typical airline operational requirements including advanced navigation, flight management and systems monitoring. Operated by SkyWest Airlines Inc from its St George, UT base, the aircraft’s declared performance, range of 2,100 nm and cruise of 460 kts, suits multi-leg regional missions and higher-density short- to medium-haul routes within a continental network. Maintenance considerations follow the CF34-8E5 engine type and Embraer E170 LR airframe schedules; the high-density seating and airline configuration emphasize turnaround efficiency and utilization.

Model & Market Context

The Embraer ERJ 170-200LR family occupies the regional jet space between smaller regional turbofans and larger single-aisle airliners, offering a balance of range and capacity for up to 88 passengers. Competitors in this niche include other regional jet types and smaller mainline narrowbodies configured for high-utilization routes. Demand among regional carriers is driven by fleet commonality, operating economics of the CF34-8E5 engines and avionics like Honeywell Primus Epic, and the resale market is influenced by maintenance status, seating density and remaining structural life of LR variants.
