Model & Market Context
This entry covers the specific airframe bearing tail number N242SY, an Embraer E175LR (ERJ-170-200LR) built in 2016 with manufacturer serial number 17000588. The airframe is owned by SkyWest Airlines Inc. (operated for Delta Connection), a corporation based in St. George, UT, USA, and has been employed in Delta Connection regional service since delivery. The aircraft is registered in the US and carries an estimated market value of $28,000,000; its condition is represented by standard in-service deployment and typical maintenance cycles for a 2016 E175LR in regional airline use. Operated for Delta Connection denotes its role under SkyWest's capacity‑purchase agreement with a network carrier.
The airframe is outfitted in a typical dual-class regional layout, listed as ≈76 seats; ~12 first / 64 main, configured for Delta Connection service and passenger flows on short- to medium-haul routes. Avionics fit follows the series standard with Honeywell Primus Epic systems, supporting modern cockpit automation and airline operational requirements. Operated from SkyWest’s operational base in St. George, UT, USA, the aircraft performs regional shuttle, hub-feed, and thin‑route missions within the network’s scope. Maintenance considerations align with Embraer S.A. recommended checks for the E175LR and routine engine shop visits for the GE CF34-8E5 powerplants under SkyWest’s heavy maintenance program.
The airframe belongs to the Embraer E175LR family, positioned in the regional jet niche offering extended-range capability relative to standard LR variants with seating and performance tailored to 70–90 seat markets. Competing types in this segment include other E-Jets and stretched regional jets from rival manufacturers targeting similar scope clauses. Demand among regional carriers and major network operators for E175 variants has been driven by stage length, seat density, and fleet commonality; resale and maintenance value for a 2016 E175LR such as N242SY reflects continued operator demand and a stable aftermarket for CF34-powered regional jets.
