N506SY

This airframe, registered as N506SY, is an Embraer 175LR (ERJ-170-200LR) built in 2021 with manufacturer's serial number 17000887. The airframe is owned by SKYWEST AIRLINES INC, a corporation based in St. George, UT, US, and has been operated in the regional carrier role since delivery. Registered to SKYWEST AIRLINES INC upon entry into service in 2021, the aircraft carries a US registration and reflects a late-production example of the LR variant with modern systems and current-cycle component records. No separate public record of extraordinary registry actions or incidents is published for this tail number; condition and valuation are consistent with a 2021-built regional jet in active airline service.

The cabin of this airframe is fitted in a C12Y64 (12 business / 64 economy — typical 76-seat American Eagle layout; high-density up to 88 seats) arrangement, yielding flexibility between a two-class regional configuration and a higher-density single-class operation; the aircraft is currently noted at the upper capacity of the high-density option. As an Embraer 175LR operated by SkyWest, its typical mission profile includes short- to medium-haul regional services feeding major hubs, where its 2,200 nm range and 460-knot cruise enable transregional rotations and frequency-focused schedules. Avionics and specific interior finish standards follow operator fit; routine maintenance considerations align with CF34-8E5 engine lifecycle management and Embraer airframe scheduled checks under SkyWest’s maintenance program. The aircraft’s configuration supports common regional connectivity patterns, frequent turnarounds, and high-utilization network deployment.

The Embraer 175LR sits in the 70–90 seat regional jet niche, offering a balance of passenger capacity and stage length for regional feeder and thin trunk routes. Competing models include stretched regional variants from competitors, with appeals in operating economics, pilot commonality, and airport performance. For buyers and lessors, the CF34-8E5 engine type and LR range capability influence maintenance reserves and residual value, while high-density seating options, as exemplified by this airframe’s up-to-88-seat capability, increase versatility for carriers prioritizing capacity over two-class service. Resale considerations center on airframe age, operator maintenance history, and configuration flexibility demonstrated by this 2021-build example.
