Model & Market Context
This airframe, registered as N115HQ, is an Embraer ERJ 170-200 LR built in 2007 with manufacturer serial number 17000182. The aircraft is owned by REPUBLIC AIRWAYS INC, a corporation based in Indianapolis, IN, US, and is registered in the US. Its identity as a high-density regional jet is established by the 80-seat cabin configuration and the long-range ERJ variant designation. Valuation and condition highlights: Not published.
The airframe is outfitted in an 80-seat single-class regional layout (high-density regional configuration) intended for dense short- to medium-haul operations. Operated under ownership of REPUBLIC AIRWAYS INC and registered in the US, the aircraft’s performance—2,150 nm range and 460 kt cruise—supports multi-sector regional schedules and higher-frequency markets where seating density is prioritized. The twin GE CF34-8E5 engines, each rated at 14,510 lbf, are typical for ERJ 170 LR variants and align with common regional maintenance and shop visit cycles. Cabin amenities and avionics fit specific to this tail are not published; maintenance considerations follow the LR long-range variant profile given its service role and engine type.
As an Embraer ERJ 170-200 LR airframe, N115HQ occupies the high-density regional niche within the ERJ 170 family, offering an 80-seat layout with extended-range capability to 2,150 nm and a 41,000 ft ceiling. The combination of capacity and performance makes this configuration suitable for airlines seeking higher-seat-count regional operations and redeployment flexibility across domestic sectors. Resale and maintenance considerations for this airframe are influenced by its high-density interior, US registration, and the lifecycle of the GE CF34-8E5 engines, factors which affect marketability to regional carriers and leasing firms.
