N628SY

The airframe bearing tail number N628SY is an Embraer-built regional jet of the type Embraer ERJ-170-200LL, manufactured by Embraer S.A. and completed in 2024 with serial number 17000983. The aircraft is recorded as owned by SKYWEST AIRLINES INC (a corporation based in Saint George, UT, US), and it is registered in the US registry. Delivered in 2024 to SKYWEST AIRLINES INC, this airframe entered service as a new-production regional jet configured to the operator’s specifications and carries the contemporary avionics and cabin fit consistent with late-build ERJ-170 series production.

The aircraft is outfitted in an 88-seat single-class regional layout, reflecting a high-density regional configuration for short- to medium-haul trunking and frequency-driven schedules. Flight deck systems are equipped with Honeywell Primus Epic avionics, supporting advanced flight management, navigation and integrated display capabilities common to modern regional fleets. Operated by SKYWEST AIRLINES INC from its Saint George, Utah base location, the airframe’s typical mission profile would include high-frequency regional shuttle and feeder services within a 2,100 nm operational radius and cruise operations at approximately 460 knots to optimize sector utilization. Maintenance and operational considerations center on the CF34-8E5 engine type and the standard ERJ-170 airframe maintenance program as applied to a 2024-build aircraft in daily regional service.

The Embraer ERJ-170-200LL occupies a performance niche as a stretched regional jet delivering up to 88 seats with a maximum operating ceiling of 41,000 ft, positioning it against competing regional types in similar seat-capacity and range bands. With twin GE CF34-8E5 powerplants producing 13,800 lbf thrust apiece and Honeywell avionics, the model appeals to carriers prioritizing commonality, stage length flexibility up to 2,100 nm, and high-frequency regional operations. For buyers and lessors, resale and maintenance considerations include the engine support environment for the CF34 family and market demand for single-class, high-density regional aircraft in North American feeder networks.
