N243SY

This entry covers airframe N243SY, an Embraer ERJ-175LR built in 2016 with manufacturer's serial 17000592. The aircraft is owned by SkyWest Airlines Inc, a corporation based in St. George, UT, US, which also operates the type from its regional bases; ownership and operational control have been held by SkyWest since delivery. Notable registry actions or individual transaction records for this specific tail are Not published. Condition and valuation specifics for this airframe are Not published, though the build year and configuration place it in the mature regional jet market segment.

This airframe is typically configured in an operator-dependent regional layout and for this example is outfitted to accommodate 88 seats; broader ERJ-175LR cabin options include two-class and high-density configurations, with 76–88 seats typical across the fleet. Operated by SkyWest Airlines Inc out of its regional network hubs with a home presence in St. George, UT, US, the aircraft performs short- to medium-range regional missions consistent with a 2,200 nm range and cruise speed of 480 kts. Maintenance considerations focus on the twin General Electric CF34-8E turbofan lineage common to the E175 family, influencing parts commonality, shop visits, and time-between-overhaul practices typical for regional carriers. Specific avionics, interior finish, and in-service refurbishment history for this tail are Not published.

The Embraer ERJ-175LR (E175LR) occupies the regional jet niche for 76–88 seat markets where range up to 2,200 nm and a service ceiling near 41,000 ft are required. Competing in the same sector, the type appeals to regional carriers seeking commonity with CF34-powered fleets and a balance of capacity (up to 88 seats) and operating economics. For buyers and lessors, factors such as the airframe's 2016 build year, CF34-8E engine configuration, and operator usage patterns under SkyWest influence maintenance reserves, residual value expectations, and remarketing pathways.
