N205SY

This airframe, registered as N205SY, is an Embraer 175LR (ERJ-170-200LR) built by Embraer S.A. in 2017 with manufacturer serial number 17000636. The airframe is owned by SkyWest Airlines Inc., a corporate operator based in St. George, UT, US, and carries a US registration. Registered to SkyWest upon or after manufacture, the aircraft is configured and maintained in line with regional-operator practices and serves as a standard member of the carrier’s regional fleet.

The cabin of N205SY reflects a typical, operator-configured 76-seat dual-class regional layout with a first/coach mix tailored to SkyWest’s route structure and commercial requirements. With a maximum cruise speed of 489 kts and a range of 2,200 nm, the airframe is mission-suited for longer regional sectors and thin transcontinental spokes operated by regional airlines. The twin GE CF34-8E5 engines provide the installed thrust rating of 13,800 lbf each, a factor in maintenance planning and line-repair cycles that a regional operator like SkyWest Airlines Inc. typically manages within its MRO arrangements. The aircraft’s service ceiling of 41,000 ft supports efficient cruise altitudes used on medium-length sectors.

The Embraer 175LR designation and the broader ERJ-170/175 family occupy a middle-performance niche in the regional jet market, balancing seating for 76 passengers with a 2,200 nm range that enables both high-frequency short-haul and extended regional missions. As a 2017-built frame powered by CF34-8E5 engines, N205SY benefits from contemporary airframe age and established engine support programs, factors that influence operator demand, maintenance scheduling, and resale considerations. Within SkyWest’s fleet planning, such airframes are positioned to deliver flexibility across network deployments while reflecting typical regional-operator configuration and utilization patterns.
