N406SY

This airframe, registered as N406SY, is an Embraer-built ERJ-175LR delivered in 2022 with manufacturer's serial number 17000900. It is owned and operated by SkyWest Airlines, Inc., a corporation based in St. George, UT, USA, and carries a United States registration. The aircraft entered service with SkyWest following manufacture by Embraer S.A., and its record shows standard commercial entry into the U.S. civil registry rather than private or corporate re-registration. Condition and valuation highlights are typical for a new-build regional jet of its vintage, with maintenance and dispatch managed under the operator’s regional fleet programs.

The airframe is fitted in a three-class 76-seat layout commonly used by Alaska/SkyWest operations, typically arranged as 12 First, 12 Premium, and 52 Main seats, providing a mix of premium and high-density regional seating. Avionics are supplied by Honeywell Primus Epic, a common integrated flightdeck suite for modern regional jets that supports advanced navigation, flight management, and situational awareness functions used on SkyWest routes. Typical mission profiles for this ERJ-175LR include short- to medium-range regional services within the U.S., taking advantage of its 1,800 nm range and cruise speed near 489 kts for efficient sector rotations; base and maintenance activities are conducted from the operator’s established facilities in St. George and connected regional maintenance centers. There are no special cabin amenities recorded beyond the operator-configured three-class layout, and maintenance considerations follow the CF34-8E5 engine program and Embraer maintenance schedules.

The Embraer ERJ-175LR (ERJ-170-200LR) family occupies the regional jet niche for 70–90 seat markets, offering operators a balance of range, speed, and per-seat economics for short- to medium-haul routes. Competing types include stretched regional variants and smaller narrowbodies in capacity and range, with the ERJ-175LR prized for its commonality with other Embraer regional models and suitability for high-frequency operations. Buyer and operator demand typically centers on regional carriers and capacity providers like SkyWest; resale and maintenance considerations focus on CF34 engine support, avionics commonality with Honeywell systems, and the airframe’s service history and configuration.
