N303KH

This airframe, registered as N303KH, is a Boeing 737-319(SF) built by Boeing in 1999 with manufacturer serial number 25606. The aircraft is recorded as owned by Aloha Air Cargo, a corporation based in Honolulu, HI, US, and operates in a US registry (US) as a converted freighter. Conversion to a side-cargo-door freighter configuration and its operation from a Hawaiian cargo operator define the airframe’s recent operational identity. Registry actions and valuation specifics are not published, though the airframe’s age and freighter conversion are primary factors in condition and market assessments.

The cabin for this specific airframe is a converted freighter layout, fitted with a side cargo door to support bulk cargo operations rather than passenger transport. Avionics fit and interior equipment details are not published for this registration, but the aircraft’s mission profile under Aloha Air Cargo centers on regional to medium-range cargo routes consistent with a 2,255 nm range and a cruise speed near 430 kts. Based at Honolulu, HI, US, the operator typically employs such freighter conversions for scheduled and ad hoc cargo services across island chains and Pacific routes, with maintenance considerations focused on freighter structural modifications, door and floor reinforcement, and the continued airworthiness of legacy CFM56-3 powerplants.

The Boeing 737-319(SF) occupies a niche as a narrow-body freighter conversion that balances payload capability and regional range, supported by twin CFM56-3 engines producing 22,000 lbf each. Competing in the used freighter market with other converted 737 Classics and turbofan narrow-bodies, demand is largely driven by cargo operators seeking airframes with proven reliability and straightforward maintenance. Resale and maintenance considerations for this 1999-built airframe include lifecycle management of older CFM56-3 engines and airframe fatigue tracking associated with freighter conversions.
