N140SY

This airframe, registered as N140SY, is an Embraer E175LR (manufacturer designation ERJ-170-200LR) built in 2015 with manufacturer serial number 17000470. The airframe is owned by SkyWest Airlines Inc, a corporation based in St. George, UT, US, and is registered in the US. No public record of notable registry actions or changes of ownership beyond the current corporate owner has been published. Condition and valuation notes for this individual aircraft are not published in the supplied data.

This specific E175LR is outfitted in a typical United Express 76-seat two-class configuration, with a forward first-class cabin and a larger economy cabin, reflecting its operator-centric regional layout. The avionics fit is the Rockwell Collins Pro Line 21 suite, common to first‑generation E‑Jets and supporting modern regional operational requirements. Operated by SkyWest from its base in St. George, UT, the aircraft is suited to short- to medium-haul regional missions, connecting spoke cities to major hubs within its 2,200 nm capability while typically cruising near 489 knots. The twin GE CF34-8E5 engines, each rated at 14,510 lbf, are standard for this LR (Long Range) variant and drive maintenance profiles and scheduling typical for E‑Jet fleets; no unique maintenance anomalies for this airframe are published.

The Embraer E175LR occupies a niche in the regional jet market as a high-capacity, medium-range regional airliner, balancing 76 seats with extended range for trans-regional missions. Competing models include stretched regional jets and smaller narrowbodies offering similar capacity or range, but the E175LR's combination of the CF34 family engines, Pro Line 21 avionics, and a 41,000 ft ceiling make it attractive for regional carriers seeking operational flexibility. Buyer and charter demand tends to favor well‑configured E175LRs for franchise operations; resale and maintenance considerations for this airframe will reflect standard E‑Jet lifecycle factors—engine maintenance cycles, avionics commonality, and cabin reconfiguration potential for different regional brands.
