N258SY

This airframe, registered N258SY, is an Embraer-built regional jet completed in 2017 with manufacturer serial number 17000655. The aircraft is an Embraer ERJ-170-200LR (marketed as the ERJ-175LR) produced by Embraer S.A. and is documented as owned by SKYWEST AIRLINES INC, a corporate operator based in St. George, UT, US. The airframe carries a US registration and is recorded with a market valuation of $29,000,000, reflecting a late-2010s LR-series build in typical operational condition. No additional registry actions or ownership transfers are published beyond the original corporate ownership noted.

The aircraft is configured in typical ERJ LR layouts with 2–2 seating and is listed with dual-class capacity options; the LR typical fit is 76 in dual-class or a high-density 88 seats, and the common cabin arrangement includes 1 forward + 1 aft lavatory. As a fleet type for a regional airline, this airframe is positioned for short- to medium-haul missions, feeding mainline hubs and operating frequent sector rotations consistent with commuter and regional schedules out of the operator’s base. Avionics and systems on the ERJ-170/175 family are standard for the type; maintenance considerations center on CF34-8E engine cycles and LR-series weight-and-balance configurations for extended-range operations. The configuration supports high utilization with straightforward cabin servicing and typical regional turnaround requirements.

The Embraer ERJ-170-200LR / ERJ-175LR occupies the regional jet performance niche for 70–90 seat markets, offering a blend of range (about 2,200 nm) and cruise speed (447 kts) that competes with similar regional jets in its class. Primary competitors include newer variants of regional family aircraft from rival manufacturers and larger regional derivatives used by mainline feeders. Buyer and charter demand for late-model LR-series airframes tends to favor operators seeking flexible range and seat-density options; resale and maintenance considerations emphasize CF34-8E engine support, structural fatigue tracking, and interior refit prospects given the high-utilization role of such aircraft.
