N278SY

This airframe, registered as N278SY, is an Embraer-built regional jet listed as an Embraer ERJ-170-200LL (E175/175LR), completed in 2018 with manufacturer serial number 17000742. The airframe is owned by SKYWEST AIRLINES INC, a corporation based in St George, UT, US, and carries a US registration. The jet is powered by twin engines and has been operated in multiple operator configurations; it has been noted in a typical Delta Connection two-class layout when in Delta service. Valuation and detailed condition reports are Not published.

The aircraft typically serves short- to medium-haul regional missions consistent with its 2,200 nm range and 480 kts cruise speed, operating out of its operator’s regional bases. Cabin fit can vary by operator; when deployed in Delta Connection service this specific airframe was arranged in a two-class 76-seat layout of 12 First / 20 Comfort+ / 44 Main, though the current registered seating is 88. Maintenance considerations align with the twin-engine, high-utilization regional role and the airframe’s GE CF34-8E5 powerplants, with scheduled checks calibrated to a fixed-wing multi-engine commercial operator’s program. Avionics fit and specific interior amenities are operator-specific and not published for this airframe.

The Embraer ERJ-170-200LL (E175/175LR) occupies the regional jet niche, offering sub-41,000 ft service capability and seating that can be optimized between higher-density single-class layouts and two-class regional premium offerings. Competing types in this segment typically include similar 70–90 seat regional jets from other manufacturers; buyer demand is driven by regional carriers seeking flexibility between frequency and capacity. Resale and maintenance considerations focus on engine cycles for the GE CF34-8E5 series, airframe utilization since its 2018 build, and operator configuration changes which can affect marketability.
