N118SY

This entry covers airframe N118SY, an Embraer ERJ-170-200LR (marketed as E175 / ERJ-175LR) built in 2014 with manufacturer serial number 17000420. The airframe is registered in the United States and is listed to SKYWEST AIRLINES INC, a corporation based in St George, UT, US, which operates the type in regional airline service. The registration history shows this airframe entered service with SkyWest following manufacture in 2014 and remains on the carrier’s U.S. registry. Public records report an 88-seat single-class configuration and typical regional utilization without special VIP modification.

The cabin for N118SY is configured in an airline passenger layout as a single-class regional configuration, with registry notes indicating up to 88 seats. Avionics fit is listed as Honeywell Primus Epic as typical for the E175 series, while final airline avionics fit can vary by operator; SkyWest’s installation supports regional operations and turbofan procedural flows. Typical missions for this airframe are short- to medium-haul regional services within a hub-and-spoke network, exploiting the E175’s range of 2,200 nm and cruise at roughly 447 kts to connect mainline hubs and secondary cities. Maintenance and operational considerations reflect the common regional carrier environment: high-cycle usage patterns, scheduled shop visits aligned with airline heavy maintenance programs, and supportability for the GE CF34-8E5 engine family.

The Embraer ERJ-170/175 family occupies the 70–90 seat regional jet niche, offering favorable per-seat economics versus older regional jets and turboprops. Competing types include larger regional variants of the Bombardier CRJ family and newer narrowbodies in resized subtypes. Buyer and charter demand for a 2014 E175 like N118SY tends to focus on regional carriers and wet-lease operators; resale considerations emphasize airframe cycles, CF34 engine shop history, and the commonality of avionics such as Honeywell Primus Epic for fleet integration.
