N153SY

This article describes the specific airframe bearing tail number N153SY, an Embraer regional jet built in 2016 with manufacturer serial number 17000553. The airframe is an Embraer 175LR (ERJ-170-200LR) registered in the US and owned by SkyWest Airlines Inc (a corporation based in St. George, UT, US). The airframe’s registry entries reflect its status as a 2016-build regional transport operated by its corporate owner; acquisition and continued operation by SkyWest Airlines Inc represent the principal ownership history available. The aircraft is appraised at $27,000,000, a valuation that frames its condition and market standing within the regional jet fleet.

The airframe is typically deployed in a regional airline role, configured as a fixed-wing multi-engine regional jet optimized for short- to medium-range sectors within an operator’s network. Cabin layout specifics and seat counts are not published for this individual airframe; the configuration would be set to match SkyWest Airlines Inc’s regional product standards. Avionics fit and interior specification for this tail number are not published, though operational use is consistent with high-frequency scheduled regional services operating from the owner’s base in St. George, UT. Maintenance considerations for this airframe follow standard regional-jet practices and the service requirements of its General Electric CF34-8E5 powerplants.

The Embraer 175LR (ERJ-170-200LR) occupies a performance niche as a stretched regional jet offering a balance of range (approximately 2,200 nm) and cruise speed (470 kts) useful for regional trunk and thin long-regional routes. Its twin CF34-8E5 engines, each rated at 14,500 lbf, support operations to a typical service ceiling of 41,000 ft and align the model with other 70–90 seat regional types in airline fleets. Buyer demand and resale considerations for this airframe are influenced by age (2016 build), ownership by an established regional carrier, and its appraised $27,000,000 market value, factors commonly weighed in transfer and lease decisions.
