N152SY

This entry documents airframe N152SY, a factory-built Embraer 175 (E175LR / E75L) with manufacturer's serial 17000549 delivered in 2016 by Embraer S.A.. The aircraft is owned by the corporation SkyWest Airlines (operating as United Express) and is baselined in St. George, UT, USA; the operator routinely markets services under the brand operating as United Express. Registered in the US, this specific E175LR is configured and maintained for regional airline service and carries an estimated market valuation of $27,000,000 consistent with its year and equipment fit.

The airframe operates with a dual-class 76-seat cabin typical of United Express / SkyWest service: 12 First / 16 Economy Plus / 48 Economy, a layout intended to balance premium seating with high-density regional capacity. Avionics are supplied by Honeywell Primus Epic, supporting advanced flight management, navigation and airline operational procedures used on regional multi-leg schedules. Typical mission profiles for this E175LR include short- to medium-haul regional routes within a 2,200 nm ferry capability and cruise performance near 447 kts, optimized for frequent cycles and quick turnarounds from the operator’s St. George base. Maintenance and operations reflect fleet-standard regional airline practices, with an emphasis on dispatch reliability for high-utilization regional networks.

The Embraer 175 (E175LR / E75L) sits in the 70–90 seat regional jet niche, offering a balance of range and low-seat-mile costs against competing models in the same class. With GE CF34-8E propulsion and a certified ceiling of 41,000 ft, the type competes with similar regional jets from other manufacturers in airline feeder and thin long‑haul transfer markets. For buyers and lessors, considerations include fleet commonality, avionics standardization around systems like Honeywell Primus Epic, and residual value drivers tied to seating configuration and operator utilization patterns.
