N273SY

This airframe, registered as N273SY, is an Embraer-built ERJ-170-200LR (marketed as an ERJ-175) completed in 2018 with manufacturer serial number 17000735. The airliner is owned by SKYWEST AIRLINES INC, a corporation based in St George, UT, US, and the registrant record lists an 88-seat configuration. The airframe’s registry entries emphasize its role within regional airline operations rather than corporate or private use, and maintenance and operational records would typically follow SkyWest’s fleet standards. No public sale or lease events beyond the current ownership listing are recorded in the supplied data.

The aircraft is operated in a regional airline context consistent with SkyWest’s network and maintenance practices, with an interior noted as aligning to Delta Connection typical 70–76 seat layouts while the registrant explicitly lists 88 seats for this airframe. Typical mission profiles for this configuration include short- to medium-haul regional sectors where the ERJ-170/175 family is used to feed larger hubs and provide high-frequency service between secondary cities and primary hubs. Avionics and systems conform to the ERJ-170/175 baseline type certification and are maintained to commercial airline standards; specific avionics fit for this serial are not detailed in the supplied data. Operational considerations include adherence to regional crew scheduling, heavier utilization cycles relative to mainline jets, and routine checks consistent with high-frequency short-haul service.

The Embraer ERJ-170/175 family occupies the regional jet performance niche offering sub-500-knot cruise speeds, transcontinental regional range up to approximately 2,200 nm, and seating capacities that bridge smaller turboprops and larger narrowbodies. Competing models include the Bombardier (now Airbus) CRJ series and newer regional variants from Mitsubishi/SpaceJet programs, though market demand has increasingly favored slightly larger regional jets with lower per-seat costs. For buyers and lessors, maintenance history, cycle counts, and interior seat-density choices (here noted at 88) are key resale and operational considerations; the twin GE CF34-8E5 powerplants are widely supported, which aids in aftermarket availability and cost predictability.
