N136HQ

This airframe, registered as N136HQ, is an Embraer ERJ-170-200LR (marketed as E175 / ERJ-175) built in 2008 with manufacturer's serial number 17000228. The aircraft is owned by REPUBLIC AIRWAYS INC, a corporation based in Indianapolis, IN, US, and carries a United States registration. Registered to Republic Airways Inc., the airframe has been operated in regional airline service based out of Indianapolis. Notable registry actions are limited to its US registration and continuous corporate ownership; public valuation and detailed condition records are not included in the provided data.

The cabin on this specific E175 is described as an operator-specific regional layout, with Republic commonly configuring airframes in the 76–80 seat range for Republic/American Eagle service; this unit is outfitted for an 80-seat layout consistent with that practice. In commercial service the airframe typically performs short- to medium-haul regional missions connecting hub airports to spoke destinations within its 2,200 nm range and operating at cruise speeds near 447 kts. Based in Indianapolis under Republic Airways’ corporate ownership, the aircraft is deployed on scheduled regional routes and is maintained to airline standards for high-utilization regional operations. No unique cabin amenities or non-standard maintenance modifications are recorded in the supplied data.

The ERJ-170/175 family occupies the 70–90 seat regional jet niche, offering twin-engine reliability with General Electric CF34-series powerplants; this example’s CF34-8E5 engines produce 14,200 lbf each and support common regional airline mission profiles. Competing models in this segment include smaller derivatives of the Airbus A320 family in high-density layouts and other regional jets such as the Mitsubishi SpaceJet (program legacy) and Bombardier CRJ variants. Market demand for used E175s is driven by regional carriers seeking efficient 70–90 seat equipment; maintenance and resale considerations typically center on airframe cycles, CF34 shop visit history, and operator-configured cabin equipment, all factors that would be evaluated for this 2008-built airframe.
