N508SY

The airframe bearing tail number N508SY is an Embraer 175LR (manufacturer designation ERJ-170-200LR) constructed in 2021 with serial number 17000889. This aircraft is registered in the US and is owned by SkyWest Airlines Inc, a corporation based in St. George, UT, US; the current record indicates ownership by that operator rather than multiple historical holders. The build and registration data identify this specific frame as a late-production regional jet in Embraer’s E-Jet family, with factory delivery and operational entry occurring in the model year cited. No other registry actions or changes of ownership are recorded in the provided dataset.

This airframe is outfitted in a typical 76-seat dual-class cabin configuration, approximately 12 business-class and 64 economy seats, with operator-configurable arrangements allowing for role flexibility. Operated by SkyWest Airlines Inc, the aircraft’s layout supports regional and short-to-medium haul scheduled services consistent with the seating count and fuel/weight characteristics implicit in the LR (long-range) variant. The twin General Electric CF34-8E5 engines and the aircraft’s certified ceiling of 41,000 ft permit efficient cruise operations at the stated 480 kt profile and a maximum mission reach near 2,200 nm, enabling both dense regional rotations and extended sector relief when needed. Maintenance considerations align with the CF34-8E5 engine family and Embraer regional fleet practices under the owner’s corporate maintenance program.

The Embraer 175LR (ERJ-170-200LR) represented by N508SY occupies the regional jet niche for 70–90 seat markets where a balance of capacity and range is required. With a 76-seat typical layout and long-range capability, the type competes with similar regional jets offering comparable cruise speeds and operational altitudes. Buyers and operators historically value the LR variant for its extended ferry and mission range relative to baseline models; resale and maintenance considerations for this frame will reflect the CF34-8E5 engine lifecycle, airframe utilization since 2021, and operator-specific configuration choices.
