N290BR

This airframe, registered as N290BR, is a Boeing-built freighter originally completed in 1999 with manufacturer serial number 29040. It is a converted freighter variant of the -800 series, listed as Boeing 737-85R(SF), and is registered in the US. Ownership is recorded under 'BANK OF UTAH TRUSTEE', a corporate trustee based in Salt Lake City, UT, and the airframe carries an estimated market value of $23,000,000. Condition highlights note a main-deck special freighter conversion and a configuration suitable for dedicated cargo operations.

The cabin of this airframe reflects a special freighter conversion with main-deck cargo capability, configured to support unit load devices and palletized freight operations rather than passenger service. Typical mission profiles center on short- to medium-haul cargo routes within the aircraft’s 3,060 nm range and at cruise speeds near 440 kts, optimized for overnight logistics and express freight flows. As a corporate trustee-owned asset based in Salt Lake City, UT, administrative and registry actions are maintained under US registration protocols; the trustee ownership structure can reflect lease- or finance-oriented utilization rather than direct airline operation. Maintenance considerations include freighter-specific structural inspections and life-limited component tracking consistent with the 737-800 series and the two CFM56-7B engines.

The Boeing 737-85R(SF) sits within the 737 Next Generation family as a narrow-body freighter platform, offering a balance of payload capacity and commonality with passenger-to-freighter conversions. It competes in the regional and short transcontinental cargo niche against other converted narrow-bodies and newer converted NG/Max types, with buyer demand driven by express cargo carriers and lessor financiers. Resale and maintenance planning for this serial (29040) reflect established 737 aftermarket support but also require attention to freighter conversion records and the economics of remaining structural life when valued at approximately $23,000,000.
