N642QX

This airframe, registered as N642QX, is an Embraer-built regional jet delivered in 2018 with manufacturer serial number 17000762. It is recorded as owned by HORIZON AIR INDUSTRIES INC, a corporate owner based in SEATAC, WA, US, and is registered in the US civil registry. The airframe is a high-density, single-class regional configuration operated from the Seattle–Tacoma market; acquisition by the Horizon Air Industries corporate entity represents the principal known change in its ownership record. Condition and valuation specifics are not published beyond its factory configuration and ownership status.

The aircraft is configured in a high-density 88-seat single-class layout intended for short- to medium-haul regional airline operations, matching typical turn-and-go schedules and high-yield commuter missions. Based from SEATAC, WA, its operator profile centers on frequent sector rotations where quick turnarounds and seat-mile economics are prioritized. The two GE CF34-8E5 turbofan engines provide the thrust profile required for regional jet performance and keep maintenance considerations within the common support scope for CF34-powered fleets. Avionics fit and interior finish details are consistent with factory E175LR regional carrier configurations; specific supplemental cabin amenities beyond the high-density seating are not published for this airframe.

The airframe is an instance of the Embraer ERJ-170/175 family—here the ERJ-170-200LR (marketed as E175LR)—positioned to serve the thin-to-medium-density trunk and regional markets with a cruise speed of 480 kts and a maximum operating ceiling of 41,000 ft. With a ferry/mission range of 2,200 nm and a high-density 88-seat layout, it competes with stretched regional jets and smaller narrowbody types for slot-constrained airport operations and dense regional routes. Buyers and lessors typically weigh the commonality benefits of the CF34 engine fleet and the airframe’s regional configuration when assessing maintenance cycles, parts pools, and resale prospects in the regional airline secondary market.
