N657RW

This airframe, listed as N657RW, is an Embraer E‑Jet built as a Embraer ERJ-170-100SE in 2005 with manufacturer's serial 17000115. The aircraft is recorded as owned by REPUBLIC AIRWAYS INC (a corporation based in Indianapolis, IN, US), and it has been maintained on the US registry under that operator. Registry entries note standard regional operator service life and routine maintenance tracking; some records reference minor model designation variance for the powerplants. The airframe’s configuration and operator history place it squarely in regional fleet use with typical maintenance and valuation considerations for mid-2000s E‑Jets.

The aircraft is configured in a single-aisle 70-seat regional layout with operator-configured cabin fittings typical of short-to-medium sector regional service. Avionics fit is noted as Honeywell Primus Epic in typical E‑Jet series installations, though specific panel options can vary by operator; these avionics support regional crew procedures and modern flight-management capabilities. Operating from its base with REPUBLIC AIRWAYS INC it performs short-haul scheduled services where the ERJ-170’s range and cruise provide efficient utilization on high-frequency routes. Maintenance considerations for this specific airframe include routine CF34 engine support and mid-life checks aligned with a 2005 build year, and cabin refurbishments depend on operator policy.

The Embraer ERJ-170-100SE sits in the regional jet performance niche offering a balance of 70-seat capacity, trans-regional range, and cruise speed attractive to regional carriers and low-density mainline feeders. Competing models in the segment historically include smaller variants of the Bombardier/CRJ family and newer E‑Jet derivatives; buyer demand is driven by fleet commonality and engine support for the General Electric CF34 series. Resale and maintenance considerations for this aircraft focus on engine shop visits, avionics upgrades to modern standards, and cabin reconfiguration potential under operator control.
