N509SY

This airframe, registered as N509SY, is an Embraer-built regional jet delivered in 2021 with manufacturer serial number 17000890. The airframe is an Embraer 175LR (ERJ-170-200LR) produced by Embraer S.A. and is operated/owned by SKYWEST AIRLINES INC of St George, UT, US. The aircraft carries a US registration and is configured for regional operations typical of its class. As a 2021 build with contemporary systems and engines, it represents a relatively recent example of the LR (long-range) variant within its family.

The cabin of this specific Embraer 175LR is fitted as an 88-seat single-class (2-2 seating) layout, optimized for high-density regional carrier utilization. Avionics are provided by Honeywell Primus Epic, offering a modern integrated flight deck suited to airline operations and common regional crew training. With a 2,200 nm range and 448 kt cruise speed, the aircraft is capable of medium regional routes and extended thin trunk-sector hops while maintaining efficient stage lengths for an 88-seat configuration. Operated by SKYWEST AIRLINES INC out of St George, UT, US, the airframe’s systems and configuration align with frequent short-to-medium sector cycles typical of regional airline usage.

The Embraer 175LR (ERJ-170-200LR) occupies a niche in the regional jet market as a high-capacity, longer-range variant of the Embraer 170/175 family produced by Embraer S.A.. Powered by twin GE CF34-8E5 turbofans and equipped with Honeywell Primus Epic avionics, the type balances fuel-efficient regional performance with modern cockpit commonality. Its 88-seat single-class layout and 2,200 nm capability make it attractive to regional carriers seeking extended-range flexibility without moving to larger narrowbodies. As a 2021 airframe, N509SY benefits from relatively modern systems and engine life, factors that influence maintenance planning and resale positioning within the regional aircraft market.
