N172AJ

This airframe, registered as N172AJ, is a Boeing 757-223 built by The Boeing Company in 2002 with manufacturer serial number 32400. The single documented owner/operator for this airframe is Amerijet International, a corporation based in Miami, FL, US, which operates the aircraft in a cargo role after a passenger-to-freighter conversion. The aircraft is a dedicated freighter with main deck cargo configuration following its conversion to PCF status; registry entries reflect its U.S. registration and conversion for cargo service. Condition and valuation specifics are not published in the supplied data, but its continued operation with a specialized cargo operator indicates an active maintenance and operations program consistent with commercial freighter standards.

The cabin of this airframe has been converted to a freighter configuration (PCF), with the original passenger seating removed and the main deck dedicated to cargo carriage. Typical mission profiles for this aircraft under Amerijet International involve medium- to long-range freight lanes well suited to the 757-200 size and performance, operating from the carrier’s Miami base to regional and transcontinental destinations within the aircraft’s approximately 2,895 nm range. Avionics fit and specific modifications are not listed in the provided data; however, PCF conversions generally include reinforced floors, cargo handling systems, and appropriate certification and maintenance regimes to support high-utilization freight operations. Maintenance considerations for this specific airframe reflect the RB211 engine type and the airframe’s age since its 2002 manufacture.

The Boeing 757-223 in freighter conversion occupies a niche for operators requiring a narrow-body aircraft with transcontinental range, higher payload capability than typical single-aisle types, and a ceiling to permit efficient en route cruise. Competing types in the freighter aftermarket include converted Airbus A321 and aging 737 Classics, but the 757’s combination of range (2,895 nm) and cruise speed (458 kts) make it desirable for dense freight sectors. Buyer and charter demand for converted 757s is influenced by airframe condition, engine type—here the Rolls-Royce RB211-535E4B—and the availability of parts and maintenance expertise, which in this case aligns with operators experienced in PCF operations.
