N189SY

This airframe, registered as N189SY, is an Embraer E175LR delivered in 2017 with manufacturer serial number 17000631. The airframe is owned and operated by SKYWEST AIRLINES INC, a corporation based in St George, UT, US, and carries a US registration. Operated by SkyWest since delivery, the type has been deployed in regional airline service within North America; no separate ownership transfers or notable deregistration events are documented in the supplied data. The aircraft is a fixed-wing multi-engine regional jet variant of the Embraer E-Jets family and reflects typical in-service condition and configuration for an E175LR of its build year.

The airframe is configured with a typical dual-class layout of 76 seats (12 Business + 64 Economy) or can be arranged as a single-class cabin accommodating up to 88 passengers in a 2-2 seating arrangement. Avionics fit follows the E-Jets common approach with a Honeywell suite, noted as Honeywell (E-Jets typical Honeywell-class/Primus Epic avionics fit common on E175 variants), supporting modern flight management, navigation, and crew interfaces used in regional operations. Typical mission profiles for this E175LR include short- to medium-range regional schedules where the combination of 2,200 nm range and 447 kt cruise allows flexible utilization across multi-leg networks. Routine regional carrier maintenance cycles and line checks are consistent with airline-operated E-Jets, with the CF34-8E5 engines requiring standard shop visit intervals as per OEM and operator maintenance programs.

The Embraer E175LR (ERJ-170/175 family) occupies the regional jet niche between smaller regional jets and larger single-aisle airliners, offering up to 88 seats and improved range over base variants. Its direct competitors include higher-capacity regional and small single-aisle types from competing manufacturers seeking similar seat-mile economics. Buyer and charter demand for LR variants centers on regional airlines valuing extended range and commonality; resale and maintenance considerations emphasize airframe hours, Cycles, and CF34-8E-series engine shop history.
