The cabin on this airframe is configured in a typical dual-class layout with 12 business / 64 economy for a total of 76 seats, arranged single‑aisle in a 1–2 seating pattern common to the E‑Jet family. Avionics are fitted in the typical E‑Jet style with Honeywell Primus Epic equipment, supplemented by airline‑customized installations as required by Republic Airways. In service with a regional operator based in Indianapolis, the airframe is typically employed on short- to medium‑haul regional routes where its performance—moderate cruise speed and 2,200 nm range—fits scheduled feeder and higher‑frequency sectors.

The Embraer 175LR (ERJ-170-200LR) occupies the regional single‑aisle niche between smaller regional jets and larger narrowbodies, offering 76 seats and extended‑range capability for trans‑regional missions. Competing types include smaller variants of the Airbus A320 family on thin routes and the Bombardier (now MHI RJ/CRJ successor) regional jets in similar seating classes. Buyer and charter demand for this configuration is driven by regional carriers seeking efficient twin‑engine operations with modern avionics; resale and maintenance considerations typically reflect CF34 engine support and commonality benefits within the E‑Jet family.
