N206JQ

The airframe bearing tail number N206JQ is an Embraer-built regional jet delivered in 2008, serial number 17000249. This specific airframe is configured as an Embraer 175LR (ERJ-170-200LR) and is owned by Republic Airways Inc, a corporation based in Indianapolis, IN, US. The aircraft is registered in the US and has been operated in a regional airline environment consistent with its high-density seating and short- to medium-haul mission profile. No separate public record of additional ownership transfers or aftermarket major configuration changes has been provided. Not published: detailed valuation and current condition report.

The aircraft is fitted in an 80-seat single-class regional layout (2+2 abreast, high-density), reflecting a high-capacity short-haul configuration used to maximize revenue per flight on dense regional corridors. Typical operations for this airframe type under Republic Airways Inc involve scheduled regional services feeding larger hubs, with sectors that leverage its 2,200 nm ferry/operational range for multi-leg rotations within a continental network. Avionics and specific onboard system fit are not published for this serial, though Embraer 175LR airframes commonly carry integrated flight decks appropriate for airline fleet operations and standard airline maintenance programs. Maintenance considerations for this individual airframe align with twin-engine turbofan regional fleet practices, including CF34 engine shop visits and airframe checks consistent with high-utilization regional schedules.

The Embraer 175LR (ERJ-170-200LR) sits in the 70–88 seat regional jet niche, offering an extended-range variant to support longer thin routes and denser short-haul markets. Competing models historically include the Bombardier CRJ900 and newer narrowbody small variants, with buyer demand influenced by seat density, operating economics, and route structure. For operators like Republic Airways Inc, resale and maintenance considerations focus on CF34 engine support, airframe hours/cycles management, and the broader fleet commonality advantages within regional airline operations.
