N133HQ2008 Embraer ERJ-170-200LR

Overview

This airframe, registered as N133HQ, is an Embraer ERJ-170-200LR (marketed as the E175LR) built in 2008 with manufacturer serial number 17000217. The airframe is owned by Republic Airways Inc, a corporate owner based in Indianapolis, IN, US, and is registered in the US. The record indicates continued airline-oriented configuration and maintenance consistent with regional jet operations; the aircraft has been retained in a single-corporate ownership/operator environment since manufacture, with no third-party sale events published in the supplied data. Condition highlights from the available data emphasize a high-density regional configuration and airline-standard avionics, consistent with active commuter service profiles.

Operations & Cabin

This specific E175LR is fitted in a high-density, single-class regional airline layout with 88 seats, reflecting a commuter configuration optimized for short- to medium-haul frequency rather than premium amenities. The avionics fit follows airline/airframe-standard E-Jets practice and is consistent with Honeywell Primus Epic-class suites commonly found on E175s, providing a modern integrated flightdeck and systems architecture for regional operations. Typical mission profiles for this airframe include higher-frequency regional trunk routes within the continental US where its 2,200 nm range and 447 kt cruise allow flexible stage lengths and rapid turnarounds from the operator’s Indianapolis base. Maintenance considerations align with multi-engine regional jet programs and GE CF34-8E5 engine support networks, with scheduled checks and spares provisioning reflecting a fleet-managed corporate operator.

Model & Market Context

The Embraer ERJ-170/175 family occupies the 70-90 seat regional jet niche, offering operators a balance of fuel efficiency, runway performance, and passenger capacity compared with smaller regional jets and larger narrowbodies. Competing models in the same mission space include stretched regional derivatives and older 70-90 seat platforms from other manufacturers; the E175LR’s range and cruise performance make it suitable for thin trunk routes and dense regional markets. For buyers and remarketers, considerations center on cabin density (this unit’s 88-seat layout), engine program status for the GE CF34-8E5, and avionics commonality with other E-Jets, all of which influence maintenance cost, redeployment flexibility, and resale value.
