N778RH

This airframe, registered as N778RH, is an Embraer-built regional jet of type Embraer ERJ-170-100SE, manufacturer Embraer S.A., construction year 2004 and serial number 17000054. The airframe is owned by Envoy Air Inc., a corporation based in Irving, TX, United States, and carries a United States registration (US) within the civil registry. Delivered into service in the mid-2000s and operated under U.S. regional airline auspices, the airframe’s operational history centers on regional passenger transport; notable registry actions are limited to standard U.S. civil registration entries. Condition and market valuation are not published for this specific airframe.

The aircraft is configured in a typical two-abreast single-class regional layout with a 2-2 seating pattern and an airline-specific capacity between 70–78 seats, consistent with regional jet operations. Its avionics fit is the commonly installed Honeywell Primus Epic suite for E-Jets, supporting integrated flight management, navigation and crew systems for regional operations. Operated by Envoy Air Inc. out of its Texas corporate base, the ERJ-170-100SE platform is typically deployed on short- to medium-haul trunk and feeder routes where quick turnarounds and high-frequency scheduling are required. Maintenance considerations for this individual airframe follow the CF34 engine program and Embraer structural schedules applicable to early-production E-Jets of the 2004 vintage.

The Embraer ERJ-170-100SE occupies the regional jet performance niche between smaller regional turboprops and larger narrowbody jets, offering trans-regional range of 2,100 nm and cruise speeds near 460 kts. It competes with similar regional jets from other manufacturers in airline point-to-point and hub-feeder roles, balancing passenger capacity (70–78) with economics appropriate for thin-to-medium-demand routes. For buyers and lessors, considerations include CF34 engine maintenance cycles, airframe fatigue management for early-2000s serials such as 17000054, and market demand driven by regional carriers seeking the common avionics and operational commonality of the E-Jets family.
