N120HQ

This article concerns a single airframe, the regional jet bearing tail number N120HQ, a 2007 production Embraer 175LR (ERJ-170-200LR) with manufacturer's serial 17000193. The airframe was built by Embraer - Empresa Brasileira de Aeronáutica S.A. and is registered in the US; ownership is listed to REPUBLIC AIRWAYS INC (a corporation based in Indianapolis, IN, USA). As a fleet asset for a major U.S. regional operator, this airframe typically follows the operator's standard maintenance and registration actions; it is recorded as owned by Republic Airways and operated from their Indianapolis base under US registry. Public valuation and condition-specific appraisal figures are not provided in the supplied data.

The Embraer 175LR (ERJ-170-200LR) airframe configured for regional airline service typically supports short- to medium-range missions and high-frequency shuttle schedules, and this particular unit operated by REPUBLIC AIRWAYS INC would be deployed on such mission profiles within the carrier's network. Cabin layout and seating specifics for this individual airframe are not published in the provided data, but LR (Long Range) variants are intended for increased stage lengths compared with base models. Avionics fit and individual equipment lists for N120HQ are not supplied; maintenance considerations follow GE CF34-8E5 engine common practices and the airframe's 2007 manufacture date implies adherence to mid-2000s avionics and systems upgrade paths typical of the type.

The Embraer 175LR occupies the regional jet niche, offering longer range than early ERJ-170/175 variants while retaining the type's multi-engine reliability and single-aisle regional cabin. Its 2,000 nm range and 41,000 ft ceiling make it suitable for trans-regional routes that compete with similar 70–88 seat jets from other manufacturers. Common market considerations for this serial include engine maintenance cycles for the GE CF34-8E5 fleet, mid-life systems refurbishments, and resale demand tied to regional carrier fleet strategies.
