N189SY2017 Embraer E175LR

Overview

This airframe, registered as N189SY, is an Embraer E175LR delivered in 2017 with manufacturer serial number 17000631. The airframe is owned and operated by Skywest Airlines Inc, a corporation based in St George, UT, US, and carries a US registration. Operated by SkyWest since delivery, the type has been deployed in regional airline service within North America; no separate ownership transfers or notable deregistration events are documented in the supplied data. The aircraft is a fixed-wing multi-engine regional jet variant of the Embraer E-Jets family and reflects typical in-service condition and configuration for an E175LR of its build year.

Operations & Cabin

The airframe is configured with a typical dual-class layout of 76 seats (12 Business + 64 Economy) or can be arranged as a single-class cabin accommodating up to 88 passengers in a 2-2 seating arrangement. Avionics fit follows the E-Jets common approach with a Honeywell suite, noted as Honeywell (E-Jets typical Honeywell-class/Primus Epic avionics fit common on E175 variants), supporting modern flight management, navigation, and crew interfaces used in regional operations. Typical mission profiles for this E175LR include short- to medium-range regional schedules where the combination of 2,200 nm range and 447 kt cruise allows flexible utilization across multi-leg networks. Routine regional carrier maintenance cycles and line checks are consistent with airline-operated E-Jets, with the CF34-8E5 engines requiring standard shop visit intervals as per OEM and operator maintenance programs.

Model & Market Context

The Embraer E175LR (ERJ-170/175 family) occupies the regional jet niche between smaller regional jets and larger single-aisle airliners, offering up to 88 seats and improved range over base variants. Its direct competitors include higher-capacity regional and small single-aisle types from competing manufacturers seeking similar seat-mile economics. Buyer and charter demand for LR variants centers on regional airlines valuing extended range and commonality; resale and maintenance considerations emphasize airframe hours, Cycles, and CF34-8E-series engine shop history.
