N37615

The airframe bearing tail number N37615 is a Boeing 737-524, a 737-500 series example manufactured by The Boeing Company in 1994 with manufacturer serial number 27328. The airframe's documented owner is Continental Airlines (corporation), and the unit carries a US registration; entered service with Continental Airlines upon delivery. Registry records and valuation snapshots indicate a current market valuation near $3,000,000, reflecting age, configuration and typical wear for a mid-1990s narrowbody. Notable registry actions are limited to the original certification and operator assignment reflected in the supplied ownership data.

This individual 737-524 is configured to accept typical airline layouts ranging between 108–132 seats, with final seating dependent on operator choices and cabin class mix. Avionics and specific fit are operator-dependent; as a commercial 737-500 derivative it is normally fitted with airline-standard avionics suites appropriate to its era and subsequent retrofit cycles. Typical mission profiles for this airframe include short- to medium-haul scheduled services within the aircraft's 2,400 nm operational range and at cruise speeds around 485 kts, operating from Continental Airlines’ route network and hubs. Maintenance considerations for this airframe are consistent with aging narrowbodies: airframe hours and cycles, CFM56-3C1 engine lifecycle management, and potential interior refurbishment driven by seating density choices.

The Boeing 737-524 is a member of the 737 Classic family positioned for short- to medium-range trunk and regional routes, with a service ceiling of 37,000 ft and twin CFM56-3C1 powerplants producing 20,000 lbf each. In the contemporary market its age and capability place it in a value niche where operators weigh acquisition cost—around $3,000,000 for this unit—against expected maintenance, fuel efficiency and retrofit needs. Competing models in its era and mission profile include earlier and later narrowbody types, and resale or continued operator demand is influenced by seating configuration (108–132), remaining structural life, and engine program status.
