About N138HQ
Compiled with AI assistance from the public sources listed below, November 2025. Not checked against the aircraft's logbooks.
Overview
This entry covers airframe N138HQ, an Embraer ERJ-175LR (E175LR) built in 2008 with manufacturer serial number 17000234. The airframe is owned by Republic Airways Inc, a corporation based in Indianapolis, IN, US, and is registered in the US. Registry details and the construction serial identify the airframe uniquely within Embraer’s production records; notable registry actions beyond the current ownership are not published. Condition and valuation highlights are limited to the basic configuration and specification data provided for this specific airframe.
Operations & Cabin
The airframe is configured in a regional single-aisle 80-seat layout in line with operator-standard arrangements, providing high-density seating for short- to medium-haul regional operations. Avionics fit and specific interior finish options for this tail number are not published; the cabin description reflects the operator layout rather than a bespoke VIP or freight conversion. Typical mission profiles for this installation include feeder and regional trunk routes within the aircraft’s 2,200 nm range and cruise capability near 447 kts, based operationally from the owner’s base in Indianapolis, IN. Maintenance considerations follow Embraer and General Electric CF34-8E5 program guidance; any unique maintenance history or modernization actions for this serial are not published.
Model & Market Context
The Embraer ERJ-175LR occupies a regional jet performance niche emphasizing fuel-efficient twin-engined operations for up to 80 passengers, with a service ceiling of 41,000 ft and interregional range performance around 2,200 nm. Competing types in the same market segment include other 70-90 seat regional jets from manufacturers offering similar stage lengths and operating economics. Buyer and operator demand typically centers on regional carriers and capacity providers such as the listed corporate owner; resale and maintenance considerations focus on airframe hours, engine time on wing for the CF34-8E5 pair, and operator-configured cabin density.
