N409SY

This airframe, registered as N409SY, is an Embraer regional jet built in 2022 and bearing manufacturer serial number 17000903. It is an Embraer 175LR (certified within the ERJ-170-200 LR family), produced by Embraer S.A. The aircraft is owned by SKYWEST AIRLINES INC, a corporation located in St. George, UT, US; the current recorded ownership places the airframe in commercial regional airline service. Delivered into service in 2022 under the present corporate owner, the jet is configured for higher-density regional operations and reflects recent production standards for the type. Public registry actions and detailed valuation figures are not published in the supplied data.

The airframe’s 88-seat layout positions it for short- to medium-haul regional operations typical of a North American feeder carrier, matching SkyWest’s role serving major hubs. Cabin configuration on this Embraer 175LR is oriented toward single-class, high-density regional service; specifics of seat pitch, cabin amenities, or in-flight entertainment are not published for this particular aircraft. Avionics and systems are consistent with the LR variant as produced by Embraer, supporting typical airline navigation, communication, and performance requirements for a cruise speed near 470 kts and operational ceilings up to 41,000 ft. Maintenance and operational considerations follow corporate regional-airline schedules and practices for CF34-powered fleets, with line and base maintenance scopes driven by owner/operator policies.

The Embraer 175LR (ERJ-170-200 LR) occupies the regional jet performance niche for 70–90 seat operations, offering range capability of approximately 2,100 nm which enables trans-regional sectors and dense short-haul routes. Competing models occupy adjacent markets, but the LR variant’s combination of capacity and range targets high-frequency regional schedules. For operators and buyers, lifecycle considerations include CF34 engine maintenance cycles and airframe commonality within fleet groups; resale and lease markets are influenced by seat count, maintenance status, and operator utilization patterns for aircraft like N409SY.
