N316SY

This entry covers airframe N316SY, an Embraer regional jet built as an Embraer ERJ-175LR (E175LR / E75L) in 2022 with manufacturer serial number 17000918. The airframe is owned by SkyWest Airlines Inc (a corporation based in St. George, UT, US) and is registered in the US. The jet carries a standard regional two-class layout operated for Delta regional services and, as a relatively new 2022 build, would typically present in near-entry-into-service condition with factory-standard systems and minimal heavy-time maintenance history.

This specific airframe is outfitted in a Delta regional two-class cabin configuration, approximately 12 business and 64 economy seats for a total of 76 seats typical for the type. Avionics are the Honeywell Primus Epic suite in the typical E175 installation, supporting modern glass-cockpit operation and regional airline standard flight management capabilities. Operated by SkyWest Airlines Inc from its corporate base, the airframe’s mission profile centers on short- to medium-haul regional scheduled services where the E175LR’s seating and range provide an efficient match; typical routing would exploit the 2,200 nm range and cruise at around 440 kts while operating to and from hub-and-spoke markets. Maintenance considerations for this low-time 2022 example would focus on routine airframe and engine preservation schedules and operator-standard line maintenance under SkyWest control.

The Embraer ERJ-175LR sits in the 70–90 seat regional jet niche, offering an extended-range variant that balances single-aisle comfort with regional economics. Competing models occupy similar capacity bands, and demand among regional carriers and major network partners remains steady for well-configured, low-time E175LRs. From a resale and maintenance perspective, a 2022-built example such as N316SY benefits from contemporary avionics and relatively low utilization, factors that support favorable short-term serviceability and residual value within the regional market.
