N516SY

The airframe bearing tail number N516SY is an Embraer ERJ-175LR (certified as ERJ-170-200LR) constructed in 2021 with serial number 17000897. The aircraft is owned by SKYWEST AIRLINES INC, a corporation based in St George, UT, US, and is registered in the US. The type and ownership place this specific airframe within the regional airline sector, reflecting a relatively recent build year that implies a low-hours, modern-condition profile for airline deployment. No other registry actions or transfers are recorded in the supplied data.

This specific ERJ-175LR is outfitted in a high-density single-class cabin configuration with 88 seats according to the FAA record, using the typical E175 2×2 seating arrangement for aisle and window access. The avionics fit for this airframe is the Honeywell Primus Epic system, supporting modern flight-deck functionality and regional airline operational requirements. Operated by SKYWEST AIRLINES INC from its stated location in St George, UT, US, the aircraft is suited to short- to medium-haul regional duties where frequent turnarounds and high passenger throughput are required. Maintenance considerations for this specific configuration focus on regional heavy-utilization scheduling and support for the CF34-8E5 engines, with attention to interiors and systems consistent with a high-density passenger layout.

The Embraer ERJ-175LR family occupies the regional jet performance niche, offering a balance of range (2,200 nm) and speed (480 kts) for point-to-point regional and thin trunk routes. Competing models in the same segment include other 70–90 seat regional jets from manufacturers that target similar short- to medium-haul markets. For operators and buyers, airframes like N516SY present advantages in fleet commonality and relatively modern avionics, while resale and maintenance considerations emphasize the CF34-8E5 engine support and interior refurbishment potential for high-density single-class configurations.
