The specific cabin for this airframe is configured as 12 + 64 (76-seat two-class typical Delta Connection layout), reflecting a regional two-class setup optimized for short- to medium-haul trunk and feed routes. Avionics aboard this E175LR are the Honeywell Primus Epic suite, supporting integrated flight management, displays, and systems monitoring suitable for airline operations. With a 76-seat layout and the LR (long-range) designation, the aircraft is typically deployed on higher-capacity regional flights where operator fleet commonality and quick turnarounds are priorities. Maintenance considerations for this airframe follow the E175LR common practices, including engine support for the General Electric CF34-8E and avionics support for the Honeywell Primus Epic installation.

The Embraer ERJ-170-200LR (E175LR) occupies the regional jet niche for sub-100-seat carriers and large-network feeders, offering a balance of range (2,200 nm) and cruise speed (447 kts) for dense short- and medium-haul sectors. Competing models in this category include regional variants from other manufacturers that target 70–90 seat markets; buyer demand generally favors units with operator-proven configurations and commonality across fleets. Resale and maintenance considerations for this airframe are influenced by its CF34-8E engines and the widely supported Honeywell Primus Epic avionics package, which aid in fleet interoperability and aftermarket support.
