N305SY

This airframe, registered as N305SY, is an Embraer Embraer 175LR (ERJ-170-200LR) built in 2020 with manufacturer's serial number 17000866. It is owned by SKYWEST AIRLINES INC, a corporation based in St. George, UT, US, and is registered in the US civil registry. The airframe is representative of a recent-build regional jet in airline service, with operator-configured interiors and routine airline maintenance status reflected in its current corporate ownership and base location.

The cabin is fitted in a Delta Connection typical dual-class layout with 12 business and 64 economy seats for a total of 76-seat configuration; a high-density 88-seat option exists within the model family but is not fitted to this airframe. As a regional jet operated by SkyWest, its mission profile centers on short- to medium-haul scheduled regional services, matching the aircraft’s 2,200 nm range and airline seating mix. Avionics and specific onboard systems are operator-configured for regional operations; maintenance considerations follow standard Embraer heavy and line maintenance cycles under corporate airline management at the owner’s base. The aircraft’s two CF34-8E5 turbofan engines provide the thrust necessary for frequent regional turnarounds and climb performance to its 41,000 ft service ceiling.

The Embraer 175LR sits in the regional jet niche between smaller regional turbofans and larger single-aisle airliners, offering a balance of capacity and range for regional networks. Competing types for this role include other regional jets in the 70–90 seat class; buyer and charter demand typically favors proven operator fleets with existing maintenance ecosystems, a factor benefiting this airframe given its airline ownership. Resale and maintenance considerations for this serial and year center on engine cycles, calendar age since its 2020 manufacture, and whether the operator retains the dual-class configuration or opts for a higher-density layout for different route economics.
