This entry covers Embraer airframe N196SY, a 2018-build Embraer 175LR (ERJ-170-200LR) bearing serial number 17000706. The aircraft is owned by Skywest Airlines Inc, a corporation based in St George, UT, US, and is registered in the US registry. The airframe entered service in 2018 and has remained under corporate ownership with the operator; no other ownership transfers are recorded in the supplied data.

Operations & Cabin

The airframe is fitted in a dual-class 76-seat cabin arrangement as a typical layout, 12 First / 64 Economy, though operator-specific layouts may vary. Typical avionics fit for the E-Jets family, and by extension this airframe, is the Honeywell Primus Epic suite, which supports regional airline operational profiles, advanced flight management, and integrated cockpit systems. Operated by Skywest Airlines Inc out of its St George, Utah location, the Embraer 175LR is typically employed on short to medium regional routes where a balance of passenger capacity and range is required; mission profiles emphasize high-frequency shuttle and hub-feeder services. Maintenance considerations for this specific aircraft follow the common E-Jets and CF34 engine programs; no unique maintenance events or modifications are provided in the supplied information.

Model & Market Context

The Embraer 175LR (ERJ-170-200LR) family occupies a regional-jet niche offering moderate seating and extended regional range, as demonstrated by this airframe’s 2,200 nm capability and 76-seat layout. Competing models in similar roles typically include other regional jets in the 70-90 seat class; operators prioritize dispatch reliability, cabin flexibility, and fuel-efficient regional performance. Resale and maintenance considerations for this model generally reflect the robustness of the GE CF34 series and the commonality of Honeywell avionics among regional fleets, factors that influence operator demand and lifecycle economics.
