N288SY

This airframe, registered as N288SY, is an Embraer-built regional jet completed in 2018 with manufacturer serial 17000754 and marketed under the Embraer ERJ-170-200LL family as the Embraer 175LL. It is owned by SKYWEST AIRLINES INC, a corporation based in St George, UT, US, and has been operated in Delta Connection/SkyWest service configurations; the current US registration reflects its commercial regional operator status. Notable registry actions and public valuation or condition summaries are Not published for this specific airframe. The airframe carries a typical regional operator specification and avionics fit consistent with in-service fleet management and short-to-medium range scheduling.

The cabin on N288SY is laid out in a roughly C12Y58 configuration (approximately 12 business and 58 economy seats) producing a total of 88 seats in the Delta Connection/SkyWest typical layout, optimized for higher-density regional markets. The aircraft is equipped with a Honeywell Primus Epic avionics suite, supporting modern flight management, navigation and flight crew interfaces used across regional airline operations. Typical missions for this configuration include short- to medium-range scheduled feeder services and higher-frequency point-to-point regional sectors within a 2,000 nm radius, operating from SkyWest’s stated base region in St. George and associated crew and maintenance hubs. Maintenance considerations align with CF34-8E5 engine support programs and Embraer regional airframe cycle inspections common to 2018-build ERJ-170/175 family aircraft.

The Embraer 175LL (marketed from the ERJ-170-200LL) occupies the 70–90 seat regional jet niche, offering cruise speeds of about 460 kts and higher single-stage range for regional connectivity. It competes with similar regional jets from the Bombardier/De Havilland CRJ series in airline feeder and frequency-driven markets, with demand driven by regional airline fleet replacement and mainline capacity needs. Resale and maintenance considerations for this airframe emphasize CF34 engine program support, Honeywell avionics commonality, and the economics of 88-seat configurations in contract flying under regional brand agreements.
