Overview

This airframe, registered as N191SY, is an Embraer-built regional jet of the type Embraer 175LR (ERJ-170-200LR), completed in 2017 with manufacturer serial 17000632. The aircraft is owned by Skywest Airlines Inc, a corporation based in St. George, UT, US, and appears on the United States registry. There are no publicly disclosed record entries indicating prior operators beyond the current corporate owner, and formal valuation or condition assessments are not published in the supplied data. Notable registry actions are limited to its United States registration and assignment to SkyWest’s corporate ownership.

Operations & Cabin

The airframe is outfitted in an airline regional layout with capacity for up to 88 passengers in a 2-2 seating arrangement, reflecting typical high-density regional operations. Avionics are provided by Honeywell Primus Epic, supporting modern flight-deck capabilities, systems integration and airline-standard operational procedures. Operated from SkyWest’s corporate base in St. George, UT, the aircraft is suited to short- and medium-range regional missions, including high-frequency shuttle and hub-feed services within the stated 2,200 nm range. Maintenance considerations for this specific airframe align with standard Embraer 175LR practices and the CF34-8E5 engine type, with airline-level scheduled maintenance and avionics support consistent with Honeywell Primus Epic-equipped fleets.

Model & Market Context

The Embraer 175LR (ERJ-170-200LR) occupies the regional jet niche for operators requiring up to roughly 88 seats with extended regional range and higher cruise speed, exemplified here by 447 kts cruise and a 41,000 ft ceiling. Competing models in this segment include other 70-100 seat regional jets from manufacturers such as Mitsubishi (regional derivatives), older Bombardier CRJ variants, and narrow-body derivatives in the lower end of mainline fleets. Demand among regional carriers and capacity providers tends to favor airframes with reliable CF34-series engines and modern avionics suites like the Honeywell Primus Epic, factors that influence maintenance planning and resale considerations for this specific serial-numbered unit.
