N276SY

This entry describes airframe N276SY, an Embraer-built regional jet recorded as an Embraer ERJ-170-200LR (E175LR) with manufacturer serial number 17000740 and a build year of 2018. The aircraft is owned by SKYWEST AIRLINES INC, a corporation located in St George, UT, US, and is registered in the US registry. Recorded ownership places this airframe under the corporate control of SkyWest Airlines and operating from its Utah base; registration and corporate details have been reflected in public registry entries. Valuation and detailed condition reports are Not published.

This airframe is outfitted in a high-density single-class configuration offering 88 seats, consistent with regional network utilization focused on short- to medium-haul sectors. Typical mission profiles for this type include frequent scheduled regional services where the combination of 2,200 nm range and cruise speed near 480 kts supports multi-leg daily rotations while reaching higher cruise altitudes up to 41,000 ft for optimized fuel efficiency on longer regional sectors. Avionics fit and specific equipment lists are not published for this individual serial, but operational considerations for an aircraft of this configuration under SKYWEST AIRLINES INC include high-utilization maintenance cycles and cabin turn requirements aligned with regional carrier schedules. Maintenance and parts support follow manufacturer and engine OEM pathways for Embraer airframes with GE CF34 series powerplants.

The Embraer ERJ-170/175 family occupies the regional jet performance niche between smaller 50-seat turbofan types and larger narrowbody mainline jets, offering higher seat counts—here 88—in a regional configuration. Competing models in the same market include stretched regional jets and smaller narrowbodies that target similar route lengths and frequencies. Demand from regional operators favors this family for its combination of range (2,200 nm), cruise performance (480 kts) and commonality benefits, while resale and maintenance considerations hinge on airframe hours, engine cycles on the GE CF34-8E5, and fleet standardization under corporate operators such as SKYWEST AIRLINES INC.
