N247SY

This airframe, registered as N247SY, is an Embraer-built regional jet delivered in 2016 with manufacturer serial number 17000608. It is owned by SKYWEST AIRLINES INC, a corporation based in St. George, UT, US, and has been operated in the U.S. regional network under that registry. The airframe’s transfer and continued operation under SkyWest reflect its use in high-utilization feeder routes for major carriers. Maintenance status and valuation specifics are not published here, but the configuration and systems indicate a typical serviceable regional-jet condition for its age.

The aircraft is configured in a high-density layout with 88 seats while operators commonly offer alternative dual-class layouts of approximately 76 seats; the installed cabin follows Embraer’s typical 2-2 seating abreast for regional operations. Avionics are equipped with the Honeywell Primus Epic integrated flight deck, supporting typical regional operational requirements and providing modern avionics common to the ERJ-170/175 family. Typical mission profiles for this specific airframe include short- to medium-haul regional routes feeding mainline hubs, where the 2,200 nm range and 448 kt cruise permit efficient trip schedules and multiple daily rotations. Operator maintenance will focus on CF34 engine cycles and regional-jet airframe checks consistent with high-utilization commuter fleets.

The airframe belongs to the Embraer ERJ-170/175 family, marketed in this variant as the Embraer ERJ-175LR (ERJ-170-200LR), which occupies the 70–88 seat regional jet niche. Competing types include variants of the Mitsubishi SpaceJet (historical), smaller Airbus A220 in different seating classes, and Bombardier CRJ derivatives in the used market. Buyers and lessors typically value this family for its commonality of systems like the Honeywell Primus Epic and the proven GE CF34-8E5 engines, but resale and maintenance considerations center on engine life, frame cycles, and interior configuration (e.g., high-density 88-seat vs. dual-class ~76-seat layouts).
