N659QX

The airframe bearing tail number N659QX is an Embraer ERJ 170-200LR (marketed as the E175LR) completed in 2023 with manufacturer serial 17000947. Ownership is recorded to HORIZON AIR INDUSTRIES INC, a corporation based in Seattle, WA, US, which is the registered U.S. operator/owner of record for this airframe. The aircraft is configured and operated in the typical Alaska/Horizon regional layout and carries U.S. registration privileges; no separate lease or third-party operator actions are published within the supplied data. Condition and valuation specifics are not published in the provided dataset.

This specific E175LR is fitted in a dual-class cabin with 12 business + 64 economy seats, reflecting the typical Alaska/Horizon configuration supplied for the type. Avionics aboard this airframe follow the typical E-Jet fit of Honeywell Primus Epic, supporting modern integrated flight deck management and airline operational systems. With a design range of 2,200 nm and cruise speed near 447 kts, the aircraft is suited to regional and short‑medium haul schedules operated from Horizon’s Seattle base, serving high-frequency feeder routes and point-to-point regional markets. Maintenance considerations for this particular airframe align with standard E-Jet heavy‑maintenance cycles and the two GE CF34-8E5 turbofan modules, with operator maintenance programs dictated by corporate and regulatory requirements.

The Embraer ERJ 170/175 family occupies the 70–90 seat regional jet niche, offering a balance of range (2,200 nm) and cruise performance (447 kts) for regional carriers and capacity‑constrained mainline feed. Competing types in this segment include smaller mainline regional derivatives and stretched regional jets; demand is driven by regional airline fleets seeking 70–90 seat capacity with lower per‑seat operating costs. For buyers and lessors, the E175LR’s commonality across the E-Jet family, established GE CF34 support, and modern avionics such as Honeywell Primus Epic are relevant resale and maintenance considerations.
