The cabin of this airframe follows an operator-configured regional layout, typically arranged 2+2 abreast and consistent with regional operations at or near the higher end of the 76–80 seat configuration; this example is fitted for 80 seats. Avionics are fitted with the Honeywell Primus Epic integrated flight deck, supporting regional airline procedural requirements and common avionics interoperability within the operator's fleet. Typical mission profiles for this aircraft under Republic Airways would include short-to-medium range regional services within the aircraft's 2,200 nm capability and cruise operations near 470 kts, operating from the carrier’s Indianapolis base and other hub cities. Maintenance considerations align with the long-range EMB-175LR variant, emphasizing CF34-8E5 engine support and airframe checks commensurate with regional airline utilization.

The Embraer 175LR family occupies a performance niche in the 70–88 seat regional jet market, offering extended range relative to its standard variants and pairing with the CF34-8E5 powerplant for predictable thrust ratings. Competing models include other regional jets tuned for 70–90 seat operations; demand is driven by regional carriers seeking high-utilization, short-to-medium haul capability. Resale and maintenance considerations for this airframe center on engine lifecycle of the GE CF34-8E5, avionics commonality through the Honeywell Primus Epic, and the market preference for 2+2 cabin layouts, all factors that influence fleet interoperability and remarketing for operators similar to REPUBLIC AIRWAYS INC.
