N252SY

This entry describes airframe N252SY, an Embraer ERJ-175LR built in 2016 with manufacturer serial number 17000612. The aircraft is owned by SKYWEST AIRLINES INC, a corporation based in Saint George, UT, US, and operates on a United States registration. Entered service in 2016 under the listed corporate owner and has been operated in the regional airline role typical for this configuration. Current valuation and condition indicators list the airframe at $13,000,000, reflecting its multi-year service and regional-jet market position.

The aircraft is configured in a typical 76-seat two-class regional layout, with cabin specifics operator-dependent but aligned to regional-service standards for passenger density and short-to-medium stage lengths. Avionics are provided by Honeywell Primus Epic, supporting modern flight-deck automation and systems integration used for airline operations and crew training common to the model. Operated by SKYWEST AIRLINES INC from its corporate location in Saint George, UT, the ERJ-175LR is deployed on regional routes where a 2,200 nm range and 480-knot cruise enable multi-stop networks and short transcontinental sectors when wet-leased or scheduled by regional partners. Maintenance considerations reflect the twin CF34-8E5 turbofan architecture and airline-based heavy maintenance cycles; engine commonality with other regional fleets supports parts logistics and overhaul planning.

The Embraer ERJ-175LR (E175LR) occupies the 70–88 seat regional jet market niche, offering extended-range capability compared with standard ERJ-170/175 variants while retaining high-frequency short-haul economics. Competing models include variants of the Airbus A220-100 in capacity overlap and the Mitsubishi SpaceJet concepts historically, though the ERJ-175LR remains a mainstay for regional carriers seeking sub-100-seat machines. Buyer and lease demand is influenced by fleet substitution trends, seat count, and the aircraft’s avionics and engine commonality; resale and maintenance valuations, such as the listed $13,000,000, reflect airframe age, cycles, and operator maintenance practices.
