N105HQ2007 Embraer ERJ-170-200LR

Overview

This airframe, registered N105HQ, is an Embraer ERJ-170-200LR (marketed as the E175LR) built in 2007 with manufacturer's serial number 17000163. It is owned by Republic Airways Inc (a corporation based in Indianapolis, IN, US), and has been operated in a regional high-density configuration under the American Eagle/Republic program. The airframe carries a United States registration (US) and is fitted to a single-class, high-density cabin used on short- to medium-range regional routes. No distinct historical incidents or registry actions are detailed for this specific aircraft in the supplied data.

Operations & Cabin

The aircraft is configured in a single-class, high-density 88-seat regional passenger layout consistent with American Eagle/Republic service, optimized for high-capacity short-haul sectors. Avionics are provided by the Honeywell Primus Epic suite, part of the E-Jets integrated avionics family, supporting modern flight-management and cockpit systems for regional operations. Typical mission profiles for this airframe include high-frequency, short- to medium-haul routes within a roughly 2,200 nm range and cruise operations around 480 knots, operating from Republic Airways’ Indianapolis base and regional hubs. Maintenance considerations for this specific airframe align with CF34-8E5 engine support and E-Jets airframe maintenance programs as implemented by the corporate operator.

Model & Market Context

The Embraer ERJ-170/175 family occupies the regional jet niche between smaller regional turbofans and larger single-aisle mainline jets, offering efficient twin-engine performance to about 41,000 ft and ranges near 2,200 nm. In market terms, E175LR variants provide airlines a high-density capacity alternative to competing regional types and offer economies on point-to-point sectors where high-frequency, short- to medium-range capacity is needed. Buyers and lease providers consider engine life, avionics standardization (Honeywell Primus Epic), and seat-density fit when assessing maintenance planning and resale value for airframes configured similarly to this E175LR.
