N359EJ

This entry covers airframe N359EJ, an Embraer-built regional jet delivered in 2013 with manufacturer serial number 17000359. The airframe is an Embraer ERJ-175STD (ERJ-170-200 STD) and is owned by REPUBLIC AIRWAYS INC, a corporation based in Indianapolis, IN, US. The aircraft carries a United States registration (US) and is maintained in a configuration permitting high-density single-class layouts. Ownership has been held by REPUBLIC AIRWAYS INC as the listed corporate owner and operator/home base is documented in Indianapolis.

This specific airframe is fitted for a high-density single-class cabin, operator-configurable up to 88 seats, aligning its internal layout to regional carrier requirements. With a published range of 2,200 nm and cruise speed of 447 kts, the aircraft is suited to regional and short- to medium-haul missions that emphasize frequent rotations and high seat counts. The twin GE CF34-8E5 engines, each rated at 14,200 lbf, support operations to a service ceiling of 41,000 ft, which is typical for regional jet routings where climb performance and reserve capability are operational priorities. Maintenance considerations for this airframe follow standard regional-jet practices given its year of manufacture (2013) and the commonality of the engine type across the regional fleet.

The airframe belongs to the Embraer ERJ-175STD family (derivative of ERJ-170/200 STD series), positioned in the market as a higher-density regional jet variant capable of up to 88 seats. Its combination of a 2,200 nm range and 447 kts cruise speed places it in the regional performance niche competing against similarly sized regional jets and high-density narrowbodies for short- and medium-haul routes. Buyers and operators typically consider seat-density configuration, engine commonality with other fleet types, and the airframe’s year (2013) when assessing maintenance planning and resale potential.
