N762YX

This entry covers airframe N762YX, an Embraer-built regional jet completed in 2023 with manufacturer's serial number 17000941. The aircraft is an Embraer ERJ-175LR (designation also listed as ERJ-170-200LR), manufactured by Embraer S.A. and registered in the US. Ownership is held by REPUBLIC AIRWAYS INC, a corporate owner based in Indianapolis, IN; the aircraft’s registry reflects this corporate ownership and U.S. registration. The airframe entered service new in 2023 and carries a contemporary equipment fit and low airframe hours for its vintage, consistent with new-delivery condition expectations.

The cabin in N762YX is fitted to a typical dual-class layout of approximately ~12 business / 64 economy (76 total), providing a standard regional mix of premium and high-density seating for short- to medium-haul routes. Avionics are modern, featuring the Honeywell Primus Epic integrated flight deck, supporting advanced flight-management and systems integration suitable for crew commonality within regional fleets. Operated under corporate ownership by REPUBLIC AIRWAYS INC, the aircraft’s mission profile aligns with regional airline operations—high-frequency, short- to medium-range sectors linking hub-and-spoke networks. Maintenance considerations for this airframe follow the ERJ-175LR program with CF34-8E engine support and typical regional heavy-check intervals; its new-build status in 2023 implies a full manufacturer warranty period and minimal structural/airframe fatigue accumulation at introduction.

The Embraer ERJ-175LR occupies the regional jet niche for 70–90 seat operations, balancing fuel efficiency, runway performance, and lower trip costs compared with larger narrowbodies. With a 2,150 nm range and 470 kts cruise, the type competes with other regional jets and smaller mainline aircraft for regional and thin transcontinental routes. Demand from regional carriers and capacity partners remains strong for late-model ERJ-175LR airframes due to crew commonality and established support networks; resale and maintenance cycles benefit from the widespread GE CF34-8E engine fleet and Embraer aftermarket infrastructure.
