N308SY

This airframe, registered as N308SY, is an Embraer-built regional jet delivered in 2020 with manufacturer listed as Embraer S.A. and serial number 17000872. It is owned and operated by SkyWest Airlines, Inc., a corporation based in St. George, UT, US, and is registered in the US. The aircraft is configured for SkyWest/Delta Connection regional service and has remained in the operator’s fleet since new, with no other owners recorded in the supplied data. No specific notable registry actions or valuation data were provided for this airframe.

The aircraft is fitted in a SkyWest-specific dual-class configuration totaling 76 seats: 12 First / 20 Comfort+ / 44 Main Cabin, tailored for Delta Connection short- to medium-haul regional routes. Avionics fitment follows typical E-Jets practice with the Honeywell Primus Epic integrated flight deck suite, supporting advanced flight management, navigation and systems monitoring for regional airline operations. With a design range of 2,200 nm and cruise speed near 447 kts, the airframe is routinely employed on multi-leg daytime rotations and regional trunk segments out of SkyWest’s operational bases, performing high-frequency turnarounds and feeder services. Maintenance considerations for this specific airframe align with CF34-8E engine support and Embraer E-Jet heavy and line maintenance cycles as applied by SkyWest’s MRO network.

The Embraer 175LR (ERJ-170-200LR) occupies the 70–90 seat regional jet niche, offering operators a balance of fuel efficiency, passenger comfort in a two-class layout, and stage lengths up to about 2,200 nm. Competing aircraft in this segment include stretched regional variants from other manufacturers and larger regional versions of narrowbodies; demand is driven by airlines seeking higher-capacity regional equipment with mainline amenity levels. Resale and maintenance considerations for this model emphasize CF34 engine support, avionics commonality with other E-Jets (Honeywell Primus Epic), and market appetite for dual-class, 70–80 seat regional aircraft in North American feeder networks.
