N121HQ

This airframe, registered as N121HQ, is an Embraer 175LR (ERJ-170-200LR) built in 2007 with manufacturer serial number 17000194. The aircraft is owned by Republic Airways Inc (a corporation based in Indianapolis, IN), which has operated the airframe in regional scheduled-service roles; the airframe carries a United States registration.

Valuation or specific condition assessments for this individual airframe are Not published.

The airframe is fitted with an approximately 80-seat single-class regional layout featuring 2-2 abreast seating typical of E-Jets of this series, configured to maximize regional passenger capacity and quick turnarounds. Avionics are consistent with Honeywell Primus-class integrated systems as typically installed on E-Jets, supporting standard airline navigation, flight management and cockpit crew workflows. Operated by Republic Airways from its Indianapolis base, the aircraft’s mission profile centers on short- to medium-haul scheduled regional routes within a domestic network, leveraging the 175LR’s increased range. Maintenance considerations for this specific airframe follow corporate heavy- and line-maintenance schedules under the owner’s maintenance program; no unique cabin amenities beyond the supplied standard single-class layout are recorded.

The Embraer 175LR (ERJ-170-200LR) family occupies the 70–90 seat regional jet niche, offering longer-range capability compared with smaller regional turbofans while maintaining lower trip costs than larger narrowbodies. Competing types in its mission segment include the smaller variants of the Bombardier (now Mitsubishi/CRJ lineage historically) and lower-density Airbus A220 configurations for some markets. Buyer and charter demand for this class tends to focus on regional carriers and capacity-augmentation for mainline networks; resale and maintenance considerations emphasize airframe cycles, engine CF34-8E5 supportability, and avionics commonality with other E-Jets in operator fleets.
