N290SY

This airframe, registration N290SY, is an Embraer-built regional jet completed in 2018 with manufacturer serial number 17000758. It is a Embraer ERJ-170-200LL produced by Embraer S.A. and is owned by SKYWEST AIRLINES INC (a corporation based in St George, UT, US). Registered in the United States and operated within SkyWest’s regional network, the airframe’s public registry entries list ownership and location but do not publish detailed valuation or condition records. No further notable registry actions or transfers have been published beyond the current corporate ownership.

The airframe is configured for a high-density cabin accommodating up to 88 seats while typical regional two-class or standard regional operators commonly specify 70–76 seats; this unit is noted as a high-density variant suitable for maximum-capacity regional relief or short-haul shuttle missions. Avionics and systems conform to the ERJ-170 family standard fit for the -200LL series, supporting typical regional airline navigation, approach capability, and operational economics for short to medium sectors. Based out of its owner’s location in St George, UT, US, the aircraft’s mission profile is principally short-to-medium haul regional operations where quick turnarounds and high passenger throughput are prioritized. Maintenance and operational considerations follow SkyWest’s corporate program for CF34-powered regional jets, with attention to engine shop visits and airframe checks consistent with high-utilization regional service.

The Embraer ERJ-170-200LL occupies a market niche as a 70–88 seat regional jet offering transcontinental regional range up to 2,200 nm and a cruise speed near 447 kts, competing with similarly sized regional types for feeder and thin trunk routes. Its twin GE CF34-8E5 powerplants deliver performance suitable for high-frequency regional rotations while maintenance and resale values reflect the ERJ family’s established presence in regional fleets. Demand among regional carriers and charter operators targets variants with high-density seating like this airframe for peak-hour and high-demand short sectors, though operators weigh cabin density against typical two-class regional configurations when assessing long-term resale or redeployment.
