N378AX

The airframe bearing tail number N378AX is a production-line member of the Boeing 767-33A(ER) family, built in 1996 and delivered with manufacturer serial number 28147. This specific airframe is recorded in the U.S. registry and is owned by CARGO AIRCRAFT MANAGEMENT INC, a corporate owner based in Wilmington, OH, US, which has been the documented proprietor through recent registry entries. The airframe's configuration, long-range capability and two-engine layout have led to continued utility in cargo and passenger-convertible roles; its assessed market value stands at $8,000,000, indicating an airworthy but mature asset in the used widebody market.

The cabin for this airframe is noted as approximately C22 Business / Y224 Economy, a mixed-class layout that reflects potential for high-density passenger service or conversion to freight duties depending on operator needs. Typical mission profiles for the type and this specific registration focus on medium- to long-haul routes leveraging its extended-range capability and economical twin-engine cruise at 470 kts. Based on the owner’s Wilmington, Ohio location, the aircraft has been managed from a U.S.-based corporate operation and would commonly operate from North American hubs to transcontinental or transoceanic destinations within its 5,990 nm range. Maintenance considerations for this airframe center on lifecycle management of the CF6-80C2 series engines and structural checks consistent with a 1996-build widebody; its assessed value suggests it remains serviceable but may require continued investment to meet current ETOPS and regulatory standards.

The Boeing 767-33A(ER) sits in the mid-sized long-range widebody niche, offering a balance of payload-range and operating economics via two high-thrust CF6 engines, each rated at 60,030 lbf. Competing models in the same era and mission class include early variants of the Airbus A300/A310 family and later narrowbody twin-aisles used on transcontinental routes. Buyer and charter demand for legacy 767-300ER airframes tends to favor cargo conversion or operators seeking lower acquisition cost; resale considerations for N378AX reflect typical trade-offs between lifecycle maintenance, avionics upgrade needs, and remaining fatigue life for a 1996-built aircraft.
