The listed owner is Republic Airways Inc (a corporation based in Indianapolis, IN, US) and the aircraft is registered in the US.

Operations & Cabin

The cabin on this airframe is fitted in an 80-seat regional passenger layout configured for single-class regional seating and operated in American Eagle service, reflecting a high-density, short- to medium-haul passenger mission profile. Typical utilization patterns for this airframe emphasize frequent daily rotations on regional routes that match its cruise speed of 445 kts and a maximum range of 2,200 nm, enabling both short sectors and longer thin routes when required. Maintenance and operational considerations for this individual aircraft revolve around its twin GE CF34-8E5 engines and the LR (Long Range) configuration, which support extended regional sectors and higher-altitude cruise up to 41,000 ft. Onboard cabin amenities are operator-specific and, for this airframe, follow the standard single-class regional fit typical of American Eagle operations.

Model & Market Context

As an ERJ-170-200LR airframe, this aircraft occupies the regional jet niche defined by an 80-seat single-class cabin, extended-range capability of 2,200 nm, and a service ceiling of 41,000 ft, supported by twin GE CF34-8E5 turbofans. Its performance profile, moderate seating capacity with relatively long range and high cruise speed, targets airline route networks that require flexibility between high-frequency short sectors and longer thin markets. Market considerations for operators and buyers of this specific configuration include engine maintenance cycles associated with the CF34-8E5, the aircraft’s age since its 2008 manufacture, and the typical resale interest for well-maintained regional jets configured for single-class, 80-seat operations.
