N668QX

This entry documents airframe N668QX, an Embraer ERJ-170-200LR (E175) built in 2025 with manufacturer serial number 17000992. The aircraft is owned by HORIZON AIR INDUSTRIES INC, a corporation based in SeaTac, WA, US, and is registered in the US. Manufacture was completed by Embraer S.A., and the airframe is configured and maintained as a single-class regional airliner for 88 passengers under its current corporate ownership. Notable registry actions include its assignment to the Horizon Air Industries corporate registry and ongoing operation from the SeaTac area under that corporate ownership.

The cabin on N668QX is an airline 88-seat single-class regional configuration designed for high-density short to medium-haul routes. Avionics are installed as Honeywell Primus Epic, providing a modern integrated flight deck common to regional operators and supporting efficient airline operations. Typical mission profiles for this airframe, given its 2,200 nm range and 480 kts cruise, are regional trunk routes and higher-frequency short-haul sectors out of the SeaTac, WA, US operator base. Maintenance considerations for this specific airframe center on established CF34-8E engine support programs and airframe-level checks appropriate to a 2025-built Embraer E175 in airline service.

The Embraer ERJ-170-200LR (E175) occupies the regional jet niche for operators seeking 70–90 seat capacity with transregional range and high-frequency utilization. With twin General Electric CF34-8E powerplants and a 41,000 ft ceiling, the type competes with similarly sized regional jets in charter and airline markets focused on short- to medium-haul connectivity. Buyer and charter demand is influenced by seat count (88), avionics fit (Honeywell Primus Epic), and lifecycle considerations tied to engine maintenance programs and resale prospects for a 2025-built airframe.
