N438US

The airframe bearing tail number N438US is a Boeing 737-400 built in 1990 with manufacturer serial number 24560. It is registered in the US and is recorded as owned by EASTERN 737 ASSET HOLDINGS LLC, an LLC based in Kansas City, MO, US. The airframe is a fixed-wing multi-engine jet produced by The Boeing Company and retains the high-density single-class seating configuration typical of late-series 737-400s. Registry and owner details above represent the primary documented stewardship of this specific airframe.

The cabin configuration is noted as a high-density single-class layout with 149 seats, reflecting typical 737-400 operator configurations and allowing for dense short- to medium-haul passenger carriage. With a cruise speed of 430 kts and a published range of 2,060 nm, the airframe is suited to domestic and regional point-to-point missions within continental distances from its registry base. Maintenance considerations for this specific aircraft center on its twin CFM56-3B2 engines, each rated at 22,000 lbf, and the implications of a 1990 build year for structural and systems lifecycle work. Operational basing and asset management are documented through the recorded owner, EASTERN 737 ASSET HOLDINGS LLC of Kansas City, MO, US.

As a Boeing 737-400 from The Boeing Company, serial 24560, this airframe sits in the fixed-wing multi-engine category and represents the high-capacity member of its generation suitable for high-density trunk routes. Its age (built in 1990) and the use of CFM56-3B2 propulsion are factors that influence maintenance cycles, part availability, and operator-configurable cabin economics for buyers or charter customers. The combination of 149 seats, a 37,000 ft ceiling capability, and the listed range and cruise performance define its market niche for short- to medium-range passenger operations within the limits of the documentation provided.
