N311SY

This airframe, registered as N311SY, is an Embraer ERJ-175 (E175LR) completed in 2022 with manufacturer serial number 17000914. The airframe is owned by SkyWest Airlines Inc., a corporation based in St. George, UT, US, and bears U.S. registration. Delivery and operational records for this specific ship have not been widely publicized beyond the owner and registration details; valuation and formal condition assessments are not published in the supplied data. The airframe is configured and operated in the regional airline role typical for SkyWest-branded, Delta Connection‑market deployments.

The cabin of N311SY follows a SkyWest/Delta Connection layout with a two‑class arrangement: C12 / Y64 (12 business, 64 economy — SkyWest/Delta Connection layout). Avionics fit for the type is the Honeywell Primus Epic suite, a typical installation on E‑Jets that supports integrated flight decks and airline operations. With a 76‑seat configuration and a 2,200 nm range, the airframe is sized for short‑ to medium‑haul regional missions, including high-frequency shuttle runs and feeder services into mainline hubs from SkyWest’s operating bases. Maintenance and operational considerations align with standard ERJ‑175 fleet practices, including CF34‑8E engine support and line maintenance compatible with regional airline schedules.

The Embraer ERJ‑175 (E175LR) occupies the 70–90 seat regional jet niche, offering higher capacity than turboprops while providing lower trip costs than larger mainline narrowbodies. With a cruise speed of 480 kts and service ceiling of 41,000 ft, it competes with smaller variants of the Airbus A220 family and Mitsubishi/other regional products for replacement and growth orders. Buyer demand in the regional market typically prioritizes commonality, seating flexibility and engine support contracts — in this case centered on the General Electric CF34‑8E powerplant — which influences maintenance, parts pooling and resale considerations for aircraft like N311SY.
