N776YX

This airframe, registered N776YX, is an Embraer E175LR (ERJ-170-200LR) built by Embraer S.A. in 2024 with manufacturer serial number 17000982. The certificate and operational records list ownership by the corporation REPUBLIC AIRWAYS INC, based in Indianapolis, IN, US, and the aircraft carries a US registration. The delivery and registration history is straightforward for a new-build 2024 frame, and its relatively recent manufacture implies a modern avionics and systems fit and a low-utilization condition compared with legacy fleet types. Entered service under corporate ownership with Republic Airways upon delivery.

The airframe's seating for 88 passengers positions it for high-density regional operations common to the E175LR configuration; typical missions include short- to medium-haul trunk and regional feeder sectors from Republic Airways' Indianapolis base. Cabin layout for LR variants is typically a single-class, high-density arrangement optimized for airline service; this specific aircraft is expected to conform to that role given its declared passenger count. The twin GE CF34-8E5 engines provide sufficient climb and cruise performance to exploit the 41,000 ft ceiling and 430 kts cruise speed on routes out to its 2,200 nm range. Maintenance considerations for this airframe align with in-production E175 workflows, with modern engine and airframe support networks available through Embraer and GE.

The Embraer E175LR (ERJ-170-200LR) occupies the upper end of the regional jet segment, offering increased range and seating relative to standard E170/175 variants while retaining the efficiencies of the CF34 family. It competes with stretched regional jets and smaller narrowbodies in missions requiring up to roughly 2,200 nm range and near-mainline seating capacity; typical competitors include smaller Airbus A220 variants and larger regional-configured narrowbodies. For operators like REPUBLIC AIRWAYS INC, resale and maintenance considerations favor recent-build frames such as this 2024 airframe due to lower cycles and remaining component life, though market value and lifecycle costs remain tied to regional demand and engine shop visit profiles.
