Model & Market Context
This airframe, registered as N101TD, is a Boeing-built business jet completed in 1999 with manufacturer serial number 29273. The airframe is a Boeing 737-72U configured as a Boeing Business Jet (BBJ / Boeing Business Jet 737-700) and remains in US civil registry. Ownership is recorded to BOPPER AIRWAYS LLC of Indianapolis, IN, US; the current record shows the aircraft registered to BOPPER AIRWAYS LLC as its primary operator/operator-owner. No other ownership changes are recorded in the supplied data. The airframe’s listed market valuation is $59,000,000, reflecting its BBJ configuration, long-range capability and completion status for corporate or VIP transport roles.
The aircraft’s seating of 149 suggests a high-density BBJ layout or an adaptable VIP/corporate configuration with the ability to be reconfigured for executive transport, though specific interior fitments are not published in the supplied data. Typical mission profiles for this airframe leverage its long-range capability of 6,085 nm and a cruise speed near 459 kts, enabling intercontinental point-to-point flights without intermediate stops. Based in Indianapolis by ownership record, the operator would typically use this airframe for long-haul executive transport, government or charter missions requiring extended range and comfortable cabin accommodations. Maintenance considerations follow the 737-700 BBJ lineage, with fleet-level spares for the CFM56-7B engines and airframe scheduled heavy checks driven by flight cycles and calendar age.
The Boeing 737-72U BBJ occupies a niche for customers seeking narrow-body efficiency with long-range transoceanic capability; its 6,085 nm range and two CFM56-7B26/B1 engines offer a balance of operating cost and performance. Competing alternatives in the business-jet-modified narrow-body market include other BBJ variants and high-capacity converted airframes from competing manufacturers. Resale and maintenance considerations for this airframe reflect its 1999 build year and the established global support network for Boeing 737 family aircraft, which tends to sustain demand among corporate operators and charter firms seeking a proven platform.
