N285SY

This entry covers airframe N285SY, an Embraer-built regional jet delivered in 2018 with manufacturer serial number 17000751. The airframe is owned by SKYWEST AIRLINES INC, a corporation based in St. George, UT, US, and bears US registration (US). Registered to SkyWest and configured for Delta Connection operations, the aircraft represents a near-new generation E175 in active regional service under operator configuration for Delta flights.

The airframe operates in a Delta Connection dual-class cabin layout, operator-configured for Delta E175 service, with an installed 76-seat configuration comprising 12 First / 20 Comfort+ / 44 Main seats though the model’s nominal seat count is 88. Avionics are outfitted with a Honeywell Primus Epic suite, supporting regional operational requirements and modern flight-deck integration. Typical mission profiles for this airframe are short- to medium-range regional routes enabled by a 2,200 nm range and cruise speed of 480 kts, flown by SkyWest from its operational bases including its corporate location. Maintenance considerations center on the twin CF34-8E engines and fleet-level commonality within SkyWest’s E175 fleet and Delta Connection pools.

This airframe is an Embraer S.A. Embraer ERJ-170-200LL (E175 / E75L), reflecting the family’s role as a fixed-wing multi-engine regional jet with a high-altitude ceiling of 41,000 ft and regional-range capability. Its powerplant, the CF34-8E (CF34-8E5), and Honeywell avionics suite make it aligned with contemporary regional operator needs for reliability and systems commonality. The aircraft’s configuration — manufacturer serial 17000751, 2018 build year, and SkyWest ownership — places it squarely in the active market segment for established regional carriers and network partners operating Delta Connection services.
