N771YX

The airframe bearing tail number N771YX is an Embraer-built regional jet delivered in 2024, serial number 17000970, and is recorded as owned by Republic Airlines (operating for United Express), a corporation headquartered in Indianapolis, IN, USA. This specific aircraft is an Embraer 175LR (ERJ-175LR / E175LR) configured and operated within United Express regional operations under Republic Airlines’ fleet management. Registered in the US, the jet’s recent manufacture date places it at the newest end of the E175LR production timeline, with entry into service and any notable registry actions limited to typical operator acquisition and assignment to Republic’s Indianapolis operating base. Condition and valuation reflect a factory-new 2024 build standard for the type, equipped to meet current airline regional network demands.

The cabin on N771YX follows a dual-class typical Embraer E175LR layout with 12 business / 64 economy (76 total) seats, balancing premium regional service with high-density economy capacity. Avionics fit is consistent with current E175LR operator standards, supporting regional jet cruise and performance profiles out to the listed range and ceiling. Within Republic Airlines’ operation for United Express, this airframe is intended for short- to medium-haul trunk and spoke routes originating from the carrier’s Indianapolis base, regularly operating multiple daily sectors. Routine maintenance considerations align with CF34-8E engine support programs and Embraer regional jet maintenance cycles, with the aircraft’s recent manufacture reducing near-term major-component service actions.

The Embraer 175LR (E175LR) occupies the regional jet performance niche for 70–90 seat markets, offering long-range capability relative to shorter-range variants and tighter seat counts appealing to scope-limited routes. Competing types include the smaller variants of Airbus A220 and larger regional-configured narrowbodies in some markets, while the E175LR’s lower operating costs and commonality make it attractive to regional carriers under capacity purchase agreements. For buyers and lessors, recent-build airframes such as N771YX present favorable resale and lease prospects due to modern avionics and remaining service life, though CF34 engine maintenance programs and market demand for 76-seat configurations will continue to influence lifecycle economics.
