N204JQ

The airframe bearing tail number N204JQ is an Embraer 175LR (variant designation ERJ-170-200LR) completed in 2008 with manufacturer serial number 17000243. This airliner was manufactured by Embraer S.A. and is registered in the US; its recorded owner is Republic Airways, a corporation based in the United States. The airframe’s registry and ownership indicate operation in the regional airline sector under a U.S. operator; ownership by Republic Airways is the principal noted corporate stewardship of this airframe. No public record of other owners or notable deregistration events is provided for this specific tail number.

The cabin of N204JQ is fitted in a typical single-class regional layout configured for approximately 78 seats, reflecting the standard short- to medium-haul passenger role expected of the Embraer 175LR family. Avionics aboard the platform are specified as Honeywell Primus Epic, supporting modern glass‑cockpit systems and common regional airline operational workflows. With a 2,000 nm range and a high‑cruise speed of 470 kts, this airframe is suited to regional network missions, frequent-sector rotations, and hub-and-spoke connectivity commonly flown by its owner/operator. Maintenance and operational considerations would align with regional carrier practices for the CF34-series powerplants and the aircraft’s avionics suite given its 2008 build year.

The Embraer 175LR (ERJ-170-200LR) occupies a performance niche for higher-capacity regional operations, offering trans‑regional range around 2,000 nm with a service ceiling up to 41,000 ft and seating for 78 passengers. It competes in the market segment against similar regional jets powered by CF34 family engines and offers airlines a balance of speed (470 kts) and payload for dense regional routes. Buyer and secondary-market considerations for this model focus on airframe age, engine cycle counts, and avionics standardization—here represented by the Honeywell Primus Epic fit—while maintenance profiles are influenced by the twin General Electric CF34-8E engines and typical regional utilization patterns.
