N132SY

This airframe, registered as N132SY, is an Embraer ERJ-170-200LR (E175 / E175LR) built in 2015 with manufacturer's serial number 17000451. The aircraft was manufactured by Embraer S.A. and is owned by SKYWEST AIRLINES INC, a corporation based in St George, UT, US; the ownership record reflects the airframe's role in regional operator fleets rather than private or corporate use. The airframe configuration and high-density seating indicate an operator-focused lifecycle, and routine registry actions have centered on operator transfers and standard maintenance logging consistent with a US-registered regional jet.

The airframe is configured in a high-density single-class layout with 88 seats, reflecting an operator configuration for regional service optimized for short-to-medium sector utilization. Avionics are fitted with the Honeywell Primus Epic suite, typical of E-Jets, supporting modern glass-cockpit operations and integrated flight management for regional airline dispatch. With a maximum practical range of 2,200 nm and cruise speed near 447 kts, the aircraft is routinely employed on multi-sector regional routes, bank-to-bank frequencies, and slot-constrained short-haul networks from SkyWest bases. Maintenance considerations for this specific airframe align with CF34-8E5 shop visit cycles and airframe checks customary to 2015-build E175LRs; operators typically prioritize engine monitoring and interior hard-wear management due to the high-density cabin.

The Embraer ERJ-170-200LR (E175/E175LR) family occupies the 70–90 seat regional jet niche, offering a balance of range (2,200 nm) and cruise performance (447 kts) attractive to regional carriers replacing turboprops or earlier regional jets. Competing models include stretched regional jets from competing OEMs and larger regional variants from the same family; demand is driven by regional network needs and scope clause considerations. Resale and maintenance considerations for a 2015 E175LR with CF34-8E5 engines typically focus on remaining life-limit items, engine shop visit scheduling, and interior refurbishment cycles given the high-density single-class configuration.
