N139SY

This airframe, registered as N139SY, is an Embraer 175LR (ERJ-170-200LR) built in 2015 with manufacturer serial number 17000468 by Embraer S.A.. The aircraft is owned by SKYWEST AIRLINES INC, a corporation based in St George, UT, US, and operates in the United States registry. Operated by SkyWest as part of regional airline services, the airframe carries a market valuation of $20,690,000 reflective of its year, configuration flexibility, and engine type. FAA records note certification for up to 88 seats, while operator configurations commonly differ for regional feeder routes.

The aircraft typically serves short- to medium-haul regional routes under SkyWest operations, fulfilling feeder and frequency-intensive schedules for major carriers. Cabin configuration varies by operator; common line-fit and operator layouts for this airframe include a two-class arrangement approximating 76 seats for United Express duties, while FAA certification allows operation up to 88 seats. Avionics are typically fitted with the Honeywell Primus Epic suite as standard for E-Jets, supporting modern flight management, navigation, and airline operations. With two high-bypass turbofan engines and regional-range capability, this airframe is maintained to airline standards for high-cycle utilization typical of regional carriers, with operator-specific maintenance programs and component support aligned to GE CF34-8E5 engine requirements.

The Embraer 175LR variant sits in the regional jet niche offering trans-regional range with low per-seat operating costs relative to larger narrowbodies. Competing models in the same sector include other E-Jet family members and similar capacity regional jets from alternative manufacturers. Demand among regional airlines and major carriers’ regional partners remains steady due to its balance of range (2,200 nm), cruise speed (447 kts), and flexible seating options. Resale and maintenance considerations hinge on airframe cycles, engine shop visit history for the GE CF34-8E5 engines, and the chosen operator cabin fit, all of which influence long-term value and marketability.
