The aircraft is owned by Republic Airways (operated for Delta Connection) and is U.S.-registered, reflecting an operator/home base within the United States. The type has been operated in a regional feeder role for the Delta Connection brand, and the ownership is noted as corporate rather than private. Operated for Delta Connection denotes the aircraft’s integration into a regional network feeding major carrier schedules; no separate public valuation or specific condition reports are published in the supplied data.

The aircraft carries a typical Delta two-class 76-seat layout as operated by Delta Connection, configured with 12 First / 20 Comfort+ / 44 Main seats, reflecting a regional premium/coach mix intended for short- to medium-haul routes. Its twin CF34-8E5 turbofan engines support operations on regional sectors where runway performance, climb capability, and fuel efficiency for frequent short flights matter. Based with Republic Airways in the United States, the airframe serves scheduled point-to-point and hub-connector missions, often on routes up to its 2,200 nm range and at operational ceilings up to 41,000 ft. Cabin amenities and avionics fit specific to this airframe are not published in the supplied data.

The Embraer ERJ-175LR within the ERJ-170/190 family occupies a niche in the regional jet market balancing capacity and range suitable for high-frequency feeder flights and thin mainline sectors. With a typical 76-seat two-class layout and a 2,200 nm range, the platform competes with similarly sized regional jets offering comparable capacity and stage lengths. The twin CF34 engines and the ERJ-175LR designation indicate a focus on longer regional stage lengths within the family, influencing buyer and lease demand among regional carriers and major airlines seeking fleet commonality. Maintenance and resale considerations for this airframe are strongly tied to operator utilization, cycles, and the regional market demand for 70–90 seat class jets.
