N176SY

This airframe, registered as N176SY, is an Embraer-built regional jet delivered in 2015 with manufacturer serial number 17000533. It is an Embraer ERJ-175LR (E175LR) completed for and owned by SKYWEST AIRLINES INC, a corporate owner based in St. George, UT, US. The aircraft is registered in the US civil registry and is configured and operated in SkyWest fleet service from its owner/operator’s regional bases. Registered with the U.S. registry upon entry into service and retained in the single corporate/operator fleet, the airframe presents the typical in-service lineage of a regional jet of its vintage.

The airframe carries a cabin mix used in Alaska/SkyWest dual-class typical installations with 12 First / 64 Main (76 typical) seating and is capable of a high-density layout of up to 88 seats, reflecting flexibility for regional mainline feed or denser short-haul operations. Avionics are fitted with the Honeywell Primus Epic suite, supporting modern navigation, flight management and crew interface standards for regional airline operational profiles. Typical missions for this LR (long-range) derivative include thin long-distance regional sectors and higher-frequency short sectors, leveraging its 2,200 nm range and 480-knot cruise to provide efficient connectivity between hub and spoke points. As a fleet asset of SKYWEST AIRLINES INC, routine maintenance cycles and checks are aligned with operator schedules and parts support for the Embraer E175 family.

The Embraer ERJ-175LR sits in the 70–90 seat regional jet niche offering performance that balances range and economy for regional carriers and major-airline feeders. Its GE CF34-8E5 engines and Honeywell Primus Epic avionics place it in competition with similar regional types, primarily the Mitsubishi/CRJ family in earlier markets and the newer Airbus A220 and regional narrowbodies at the upper end. For buyers and lessors, the LR variant’s extended range and commonality within SkyWest-type fleets support healthy demand in replacement or capacity growth scenarios, while maintenance and resale considerations typically focus on engine shop visits, avionics maturity and seat-configuration flexibility inherent to this airframe.
