N123HQ2007 Embraer 175LR

Overview

The airframe bearing tail number N123HQ is an Embraer-built regional jet constructed in 2007 with manufacturer serial 17000199. Manufactured by Embraer S.A., this specific Embraer 175LR (ERJ-170-200LR) is owned and operated by Republic Airways Inc, a corporation based in Indianapolis, IN, US, and is maintained on the United States registry (US).

Valuation and public condition summaries for this airframe are not published.

Operations & Cabin

The cabin of N123HQ is configured in a typical dual-class 76-seat regional layout, with operator-specific fittings employed by Republic Airways. Avionics aboard this E175LR are representative of fleet-standard installations, typically the Honeywell Primus Epic suite used on E175 examples, supporting advanced flight management and integrated systems monitoring. In service, the aircraft’s mission profile centers on short- to medium-haul regional routes consistent with Republic’s network from its Indianapolis base, leveraging the E175LR’s range and cruise speed for frequent-turn operations. Maintenance considerations reflect the twin CF34-8E5 engine commonality across regional fleets and the manufacturer-recommended checks for an airframe built in 2007.

Model & Market Context

The Embraer 175LR (ERJ-170-200LR) occupies the regional jet niche for 70-90 seat markets, balancing passenger capacity with stage lengths up to 2,200 nm and cruise performance near 430 kts. Its primary competitors are other 70-90-seat regional jets from rival manufacturers, with buyer and charter demand driven by operators seeking comfortable two-class cabins and efficient CF34-powered performance. For resale and maintenance, considerations include service history for a 2007-build airframe, lifecycle of CF34 engines, and operator-specific avionics fits such as the Honeywell Primus Epic, all of which influence marketability and long-term operating economics.
