N144SY

This airframe, registered as N144SY, is an Embraer 175LR (ERJ-170-200LR) built in 2015 and carrying serial number 17000482. It is owned by SKYWEST AIRLINES INC, a corporation based in St George, UT, US, which acts as the aircraft operator and nominal home base for the type's regional operations. The airframe is on the United States registry (US) and was delivered into service in 2015; registered in the United States and operated in a high-density regional configuration. Valuation and public condition assessments are Not published.

N144SY is outfitted in a high-density single-class cabin configured for 88 seats per the operator’s layout, reflecting SkyWest’s regional commuter assignments and fleet commonality priorities. The Embraer 175LR fit for this operator is typically deployed on short- to medium-haul routes where high seat count and efficient turnarounds are prioritized, such as dense regional networks feeding major hubs. Avionics and systems follow the Embraer regional jet standard for the 175LR family (operator-specific avionics fit varies with airline specifications); routine maintenance is conducted under SkyWest’s established heavy- and line-maintenance programs at its primary facilities. The two GE CF34-8E5 nacelles deliver the thrust needed for the aircraft’s higher-density missions while moderating trip costs relative to larger mainline types.

The Embraer 175LR occupies the regional jet niche for 70–90 seat operations, offering a balance of range (approximately 2,200 nm) and cruise speed (480 kts) that suits both thin transcontinental sectors and dense regional trunk routes. Competing models include stretched regional jets and smaller mainline narrowbodies when airlines trade capacity for frequency; typical competitors in this segment include variants of the Airbus A220-100 in airlines that prioritize two-class service, and the Mitsubishi SpaceJet concepts where available. For buyers and operators, the family’s appeal lies in its fleet commonality, efficient CF34 engines, and strong aftermarket demand for well-maintained examples; resale and maintenance considerations center on cycle counts, cabin reconfiguration costs for lower-density operators, and remaining component life under SkyWest’s utilization profile.
