Model & Market Context
N179SY is a 2016 Embraer ERJ-175LR (MSN 17000565) registered to SKYWEST AIRLINES INC and operated in Alaska Airlines service. The airframe is a long-range E175 (LR) variant; the FAA type entry lists the model as ERJ 170-200 LR and the factory-built high-density capacity on the type certificate is 88 seats while many operators (including Alaska) use a 76-seat dual-class layout. The airliner is powered by two GE CF34-8E5 turbofans rated at about 14,510 lbf each and is certificated for transport operations.
In scheduled service N179SY flies short-to-mid-haul regional routes in a 76-seat Alaska configuration (12 First / 12 Economy Comfort / 52 Economy). Typical mission profiles include multi-sector rotations in West Coast and inter-regional markets; cabin amenities reported on operator pages include onboard Wi‑Fi and in-seat / overhead power and standard E‑Jet cabin fit. The aircraft carries standard transport-category maintenance and is registered in the U.S.; its exterior shows Alaska Airlines livery (white fuselage with blue/green tail) in all recent photos.
The E175LR is the long-range member of the Embraer E-Jet family, optimized for 70–90 seat regional operations and widely used by regional partners under capacity purchase agreements. The type is known for good stage‑length economics at sub‑3000 nm sectors, a service ceiling around 41,000 ft, and crisp field performance for regional airfields. E175s commonly feature Honeywell Primus Epic avionics, a two‑class cabin around 76 seats for North American operators, and are powered by GE CF34 family engines; they compete against smaller Airbus A320-family and Bombardier/CRJ regional types for franchise regional flying.
