RESEARCH NOTES

About N109HQ

Compiled with AI assistance from the public sources listed below, November 2025. Not checked against the aircraft's logbooks.

Overview

This airframe, registered as N109HQ, is an Embraer-built regional jet delivered in 2007 by Embraer S.A. and carrying serial number 17000168. The aircraft has been held in an institutional ownership structure with Wells Fargo Delaware Trust Company (owner trustee) while being operated under lease by Republic Airways Inc. (lessee/operator), and it is registered in the US. Maintenance and condition highlights are consistent with a 2007-build, lease-operated Embraer ERJ family airframe maintained to regional commercial standards.

Operations & Cabin

The airframe is configured in a typical regional dual-class layout accommodating approximately 76 seats while operator-configurable for higher density up to 88; the reported cabin is consistent with Embraer regional service interiors used by Republic Airways. Avionics and systems fit conform to the ERJ 170/175 family standard, supporting short- to medium-haul sector work; typical mission profiles include scheduled regional routes within a roughly 2,150 nm operational radius and cruise at about 470 kts to 41,000 ft as operationally required. As a lease-operated asset, maintenance is performed under the lessee/operator’s programs with oversight from the owner trustee, a common arrangement that centralizes financial ownership while allowing operator-controlled upkeep.

Model & Market Context

The Embraer ERJ 170-200LR (E175LR) occupies the regional jet niche for sub-100-seat markets, balancing fuel efficiency and airport performance against competitors such as the Bombardier CRJ series and newer Airbus/A220 family at the upper regional end. Maintenance and part support are mature for the CF34-powered ERJ family, though marketability depends on remaining useful life and configuration flexibility.
