N208JQ

This airframe, registered as N208JQ, is an Embraer 175LR (ERJ-170-200LR) built in 2008 with manufacturer's serial number 17000257. It is owned by REPUBLIC AIRWAYS INC of Indianapolis, IN, US, and has been operated in regional airline service under that corporate registry; no other ownership transfers are recorded in the supplied data. The aircraft is maintained and operated as a US-registered fixed-wing multi-engine regional jet, with service history consistent with short- to medium-haul scheduled operations. Condition and valuation specifics beyond manufacturing and registration data are not published in the supplied dataset.

The cabin of N208JQ is configured according to Embraer E-Jet norms, capable of typical regional two-class or high-density single-class layouts, commonly accommodating 76–80 seats with a 1-2 abreast business configuration and 2-2 in economy; this specific airframe is noted with an 80-seat capacity. Avionics fit for the family is the Honeywell Primus Epic suite, which supports modern flight management, integrated displays and regional airline operational needs. Operated by REPUBLIC AIRWAYS INC from its Indianapolis base, the aircraft is optimized for short- to medium-range sectors within a 2,200 nm radius and is frequently used on high-frequency regional routes, where quick turnarounds and aircraft reliability are primary mission profiles. Maintenance considerations align with CF34-8E5 engine support and E-Jet airframe lifecycle programs typical for units manufactured in 2008.

The Embraer 175LR occupies the regional narrow-body niche for airlines seeking 70–90 seat capability with jet performance, fuel efficiency and passenger comfort. Competing models include smaller variants of the Boeing 737 family on thin routes and regional-configured Airbus A320neo-family aircraft on upgauged sectors. Demand among regional carriers and lessors emphasizes dispatch reliability, engine support for the GE CF34 series, and interior reconfiguration potential; resale and maintenance considerations for this 2008-built airframe focus on remaining airframe cycles, AD compliance, and market appetite for high-density 80-seat regional jets.
