N728YX

This airframe, N728YX, is an Embraer-built regional jet certified as a 2015 production with manufacturer serial number 17000510. It is an example of the Embraer E175 within the ERJ-170/175 family, built by Embraer S.A. and recorded on the U.S. registry. The aircraft is owned by REPUBLIC AIRWAYS INC (a corporation based in Indianapolis, IN, US) and operates from the operator’s Indianapolis base; it is registered in the United States.

The airframe is configured in an operator-configured regional layout typical for Republic, originally noted as a 76-seat dual-class arrangement with business and main cabin sections; spotter records report configurations such as C12Y58 and later C12Y64. Avionics are fitted with a Rockwell Collins Pro Line 21 suite consistent with the E-Jets integrated flight deck, though the final fit is operator-specific. In service, this E175 is employed on short- to medium-haul regional routes where a 76-seat capacity and a 2,200 nm range suit high-frequency shuttle and regional feed missions for major carriers; maintenance considerations align with the CF34-8E5 engine type and E-Jets line maintenance practices typical of Republic’s fleet.

The Embraer E175 (ERJ-170/175 family) occupies the 70–90 seat regional jet niche, offering a blend of single-aisle comfort and regional-jet economics with a service ceiling of 41,000 ft and cruise near 447 kts. Competing in the regional market against other modern regional jets and smaller mainline narrowbodies, the E175 finds steady demand among regional carriers and mainline partners for frequency-driven networks. Resale and maintenance considerations for this airframe reflect its 2015 vintage, common CF34-8E5 support infrastructure, and the standardized avionics fit, factors that influence fleet commonality, aftermarket value, and operator transition options.
