N188SY2017 Embraer 175LR

Overview

The airframe bearing registration N188SY is an Embraer-built regional jet delivered in 2017, serial number 17000628, and is owned and operated by SkyWest Airlines Inc of St. George, UT, US. Built by Embraer S.A. as an Embraer 175LR (ERJ-170-200LR) variant, this specific aircraft has been maintained in airline service under U.S. registration and reflects the typical operational profile for SkyWest fleet units. Registered in the United States and assigned to a major regional carrier, the airframe entered service following manufacture in 2017 and has since been deployed in scheduled regional operations out of SkyWest basing. No separate valuation or extraordinary registry actions are published in the supplied data.

Operations & Cabin

The cabin for this airframe follows a Typical Alaska Airlines dual-class E175 layout, 12 First / 64 Economy (76 total), reflecting a two-class regional configuration that supports both premium and high-density coach seating. With twin GE CF34-8E5 turbofan engines producing 14,200 lbf of thrust apiece, the aircraft is configured for point-to-point regional and medium-range sectors up to 2,200 nm, operating efficiently at cruise speeds near 447 kts and flight levels up to 41,000 ft. Based with SkyWest Airlines Inc in St. George, UT, US, this airframe is suited to scheduled commuter and regional trunk routes where a 76-seat, dual-class arrangement matches demand. Maintenance considerations follow standard regional airline practice for CF34-powered E175LR aircraft; no unique modifications or amenities beyond the stated cabin layout are documented in the supplied data.

Model & Market Context

As an Embraer 175LR in the ERJ-170/200 family manufactured by Embraer S.A., this airframe occupies the regional jet niche for sub-100-seat operations with extended-range capability. The combination of a 76-seat dual-class cabin, a 2,200 nm range and a 41,000 ft ceiling supports flexible deployment across short- to medium-haul sectors. From an operator and resale perspective, the E175LR’s specifications, seating, range, cruise performance and CF34 powerplants, drive demand among regional carriers seeking commonality and operational economy; associated maintenance and market considerations align with those typical for CF34-equipped E175LR airframes.
