N202JQ

This airframe, registered as N202JQ, is an Embraer 175LR (company designation ERJ-170-200LR) built by Embraer S.A. in 2008 with manufacturer serial number 17000240. The type has been in the fleet of Republic Airways Inc. and is based with that operator in Indianapolis, IN, US, reflecting its corporate ownership and U.S. registration. The airframe has a typical regional-jet utilization profile under Republic Airways’ operating certificate; the transfer into Republic’s fleet represents its primary documented ownership change. Condition and valuation highlights are maintained within routine regional-operator practice, with configuration and avionics matching common E-Jet standards for the platform.

The cabin on N202JQ is fitted in a dual-class 76-seat typical layout, approximately 12 front-class and 64 main-cabin seats, configured for regional mixed business and high-density commuter missions. Avionics are the typical fit for E-Jets, a Honeywell Primus Epic suite, supporting modern crew interfaces, integrated flight management and standard airline operational procedures. Operationally the aircraft serves short- to medium-haul regional routes out of Indianapolis, matching the 2,200 nm range and 447-knot cruise to dense intra-regional sectors and banked schedules; routine maintenance follows air carrier heavy- and line-maintenance cycles consistent with GE CF34 engine care. Cabin amenities and specific interior options vary by operator choice, while this airframe retains the standard E-Jet dual-class arrangement as listed.

The Embraer 175LR occupies the regional jet niche between smaller CRJ-type aircraft and larger single-aisle narrowbodies, offering 76 seats with extended-range capability for longer thin routes. Competing models include regional variants of the Bombardier CRJ series and smaller narrowbody derivatives; buyers favor the E175 for passenger comfort, commonality across E-Jet types, and efficient twin CF34 engines. Resale and maintenance considerations emphasize engine shop visit cycles for the GE CF34-8E5, avionics commonality via Honeywell Primus Epic, and the residual value dynamics tied to regional carrier demand and fleet standardization.
