N300EK

This airframe, registered as N300EK, is a Boeing-built 737-3H4 (737-300) constructed in 1997 with manufacturer serial number 27716. The airframe is recorded as owned by TVPX Aircraft Solutions Inc Trustee, a corporate/trust entity based in North Salt Lake, UT, US; the ownership record reflects corporate custody rather than an individual operator. The aircraft carries a US registration and was noted in public records during a repaint/transfer period when it was reported in a single-class high-density cabin configuration. Valuation and detailed condition reports for this specific airframe have not been publicly disclosed.

The airframe presents a single-class high-density cabin layout, officially listed with 149 seats but reported to have carried approximately 143 passengers in one-class during the repaint/transfer period, indicating modest variability in fitment during transitions between operators or leasers. Typical mission profiles for this configuration emphasize short- to medium-haul scheduled or charter operations within a roughly 2,260 nm range and cruise speeds near 430 knots, consistent with high-utilization point-to-point operations. Maintenance considerations for this airframe follow legacy 737-300 practices, including inspection and support for the CFM56-3 powerplants; specific avionics and interior fit details beyond the single-class high-density note have not been published for this tail number.

The Boeing 737-300 occupies a mature niche as an early Next Generation/Classic-series short- to medium-range narrow-body airliner, offering economical operations for high-density seating requirements. It competes historically with models such as the Airbus A320 family and regional turbofan derivatives for dense short-haul markets, though the 737-300’s older generation systems and CFM56-3 engines influence buyer and lessor demand toward cargo conversion, short-term charters, or secondary-market use. Resale and maintenance considerations for this airframe are shaped by airframe age (built 1997) and lifecycle factors, with ownership by a trust entity suggesting leasing, asset management, or transitional custody roles in the secondary market.
