N424YX

This airframe, registered N424YX, is an Embraer-built regional jet delivered in 2014 with manufacturer's serial number 17000393. It is a member of the Embraer ERJ-170/175 family, specifically an Embraer ERJ-170-200LR (ERJ-175 / E175) variant. The aircraft is owned by REPUBLIC AIRWAYS INC, a corporation based in Indianapolis, IN, US, and carries US registration. Notable registry history includes its original construction datum and continued single-corporate ownership since manufacture; no public record of multiple operator transfers or major ownership events is cited for this tail number.

N424YX is outfitted in a high-density single-class cabin accommodating up to 88 passengers, while the platform also supports typical dual-class configurations (commonly around 76 pax) for operators preferring mixed service profiles. The airframe is commonly fitted with the Honeywell Primus Epic avionics suite in line with E175 operator standards; this fit is noted as typical rather than uniquely specified for this registration. Its mission profile centers on short- to medium-range regional routes where high-seat-count efficiency and frequent-turn operations are prioritized. Maintenance considerations for this specific jet include standard line and base maintenance for the GE CF34-8E5 turbofan series and routine checks tied to its 2014 manufacture year and serial-specific service history.

The Embraer ERJ-170/175 family occupies the regional jet niche focused on 70–90 seat single-aisle operations, offering a balance of range and airport performance suitable for regional feeds and thin mainline routes. Competing models in its class include variants of the Bombardier (now Airbus) A220 family at the higher end and smaller regional jets from legacy manufacturers at the lower end. Buyer and charter demand for an E175-configured airframe like N424YX typically reflects operator needs for high-density regional capacity, while maintenance and resale considerations hinge on engine hours, cycles on the GE CF34-8E5 powerplants, and the presence of operator-standard avionics such as the Honeywell Primus Epic.
