N309SY

This airframe, registered as N309SY, is an Embraer-built regional jet delivered in 2022 with manufacturer serial number 17000912. The aircraft is registered in the United States and is owned by the corporation SKYWEST AIRLINES INC, based in Saint George, UT, US. Built as an Embraer ERJ-170-200LR (E175LR), the airframe was completed with the high-density 88-seat option but has been noted in service in a typical Delta Connection two-class 76-seat layout. No separate valuation or specific registry enforcement actions are published for this individual tail in the supplied data.

The aircraft operates in SkyWest's fleet role supporting regional airline operations and is noted as being fitted in service with a Delta Connection two-class 76-seat layout, despite being built with the high-density 88-seat option, reflecting flexibility in cabin reconfiguration for different operators or contracts. Avionics are installed as Honeywell Primus Epic, supporting modern cockpit systems and regional airline operational requirements. Typical missions for this E175LR-configured airframe include short- to medium-haul regional routes where the type’s range and cruise speed permit multi-leg scheduling and efficient block times. Maintenance considerations specific to this aircraft follow the E175LR program and SkyWest’s operator practices; the two CF34-8E5 engines provide commonality with other regional fleets, aiding logistics and overhaul planning.

The Embraer ERJ-170/175 family occupies the regional jet market niche for 70–90 seat operations, offering a balance of range and payload suited to feeder and thin trunk routes. With a cruise speed of 447 kts and a 2,200 nm range, the E175LR competes with stretched regional jets from other manufacturers and refurbished smaller narrowbodies in airline fleet planning. Buyer and leasing demand typically reflects airline network needs for frequency and stage length; resale and maintenance considerations for this airframe include lifecycle management of CF34-8E5 engines and the value impact of interior configurations (high-density 88-seat build versus two-class 76-seat in-service layout).
