N979RP

This airframe, registered as N979RP, is an Embraer ERJ-170-100SE built in 2005 with manufacturer serial number 17000088. The aircraft is owned by Republic Airways Inc (a corporation based in Indianapolis, IN, US) and is maintained within the operator’s US registry. The airframe features standard ERJ-170 systems and has an operational profile consistent with regional jet usage; notable registry highlights include its continuous US registration under Republic Airways Inc. Condition and valuation specifics are not published beyond operator ownership.

The aircraft is outfitted with a 70-seat single-class, 2-2 abreast cabin layout configured for regional airline service, providing one-class capacity for short- to medium-haul routes. Avionics aboard this airframe are the Honeywell Primus Epic suite, supporting modern flight management, navigation, and system integration consistent with airline operational requirements. Typical mission profiles for this airframe include regional connectivity within a 2,100 nm radius, operated from Republic Airways’ base in Indianapolis, IN, US, performing high-frequency, short- to medium-range sectors. Maintenance considerations follow standard ERJ-170 schedules for twin CF34-8E–powered platforms, with fleet-level support managed by the corporate operator.

The Embraer ERJ-170-100SE sits in the regional jet category, a fixed-wing multi-engine platform optimized for 70-seat market segments where efficiency and frequency are prioritized. With a cruise of 460 kts and a service ceiling of 41,000 ft, the type competes with other 70-seat regional jets and smaller narrowbody conversions in airline regional networks. Demand for this model is driven by regional carriers seeking single-class, high-utilization aircraft; resale and maintenance considerations revolve around CF34-8E engine support and the aircraft’s avionics fit, notably the Honeywell Primus Epic, which can influence transferability between operators.
