N440YX

This airframe, registered as N440YX, is an Embraer-built regional jet of the ERJ-170 family delivered in 2014 with manufacturer serial number 17000435. The aircraft is recorded as owned by REPUBLIC AIRWAYS INC, a corporation based in Indianapolis, IN, US, and is operated in a US registration regime. The type was manufactured by Embraer S.A. and retains its factory configuration as a high-density regional layout. No public registry actions or transfers beyond the recorded ownership are indicated in the supplied data.

This specific ERJ-170-200LR, N440YX, is configured as an 88-seat high-density single-class (regional airline layout) cabin suitable for short- to medium-haul regional operations. The avionics fit is the Honeywell Primus Epic as is typical for the ERJ-170 family, supporting advanced flight management, integrated displays, and airline-standard operational systems. With a cruise speed of 460 kts and a range of 2,100 nm, the aircraft is optimized for high-frequency regional routes, including trans-regional sectors operated from its operator’s Indianapolis base. Maintenance considerations for this airframe reflect the twin GE CF34-8E5 engines and standard ERJ-series airframe schedules; high-density seating increases utilization and turnaround demands compared with lower-density configurations.

The Embraer ERJ-170-200LR sits in the regional jet niche between smaller regional turbofans and larger narrowbodies, providing capacity for high-frequency short- to medium-range routes. Its performance — including a service ceiling of 41,000 ft and the specified GE CF34-8E5 powerplants — positions it against competitors in regional jet fleets where seat density and operational economics are critical. Market demand typically stems from regional carriers and capacity providers seeking single-aisle jets with modest range and efficient short-sector economics. Resale and maintenance considerations for this airframe reflect operator utilization, cabin density, and the established support network for Embraer airframes and GE CF34 engines.
