Model & Market Context
This article covers the individual Embraer E-Jet airframe bearing the U.S. registration N101HQ, a 2007-built example of the Embraer ERJ-175LR (marketed as the Embraer 175 / ERJ-170-200LR) with manufacturer serial number 17000156. The airframe is owned by Republic Airways (operating for American Eagle), a U.S.-based corporate operator, and has been employed in regional feeder service on behalf of a major U.S. flag carrier. The aircraft is registered in the US and is typically maintained to meet regional airline utilization patterns, with operator records noting variations in installed engine subvariant and cabin configuration. Operated under a capacity-provisioning arrangement for American Eagle, the aircraft represents a frontline example of early ERJ-175LR production.
The individual cabin is outfitted in a dual-class 76-seat layout, with typical operator configurations reported as 12 First / 20 Economy Plus / 44 Economy, reflecting a regional business- and coach-oriented mission. Avionics fit for this airframe follows typical E‑Jet operator practice with a Honeywell Primus Epic suite, supporting modern flight management, situational awareness and airline operational requirements. In service for Republic Airways on behalf of American Eagle, the aircraft routinely operates short- to medium-haul regional routes where its 2,200 nm range and 447 kt cruise deliver efficient sector performance. Maintenance considerations for this airframe align with CF34-series engine support and Embraer E-Jet airframe maintenance programs; operator records noting alternate CF34 subvariants can affect spares and shop visit planning.
The Embraer ERJ-175LR family occupies the 70–88 seat regional jet niche, offering extended-range capability relative to earlier regional jets and a modern avionics baseline with the Honeywell Primus Epic fit. Competing types in the same mission space include smaller variants of the Airbus A320neo family on higher-density sectors and Mitsubishi/other regional types for shorter sectors; the ERJ-175LR is positioned for airlines needing 70–80 seat capacity with transcontinental reach. Buyer demand typically stems from regional carriers and mainline partners seeking fleet commonality and operational flexibility; resale and maintenance considerations often hinge on engine subvariant support (CF34-8E vs. CF34-8C1/5) and documented operator maintenance history.
