N44503

The airframe registered as N44503 is a McDonnell Douglas-built McDonnell Douglas MD-82 constructed in 1989 with manufacturer serial number 49797. It is recorded as owned by FRONTERA FLIGHT HOLDINGS INC (a corporation based in Dover, DE, US) and carries a US registration. The entry reflects a high-density passenger configuration and a conventional MD-80-series specification; notable registry entries center on its corporate ownership and its continued listing in US civil registers.

The airframe is outfitted in a high-density 172-seat passenger layout, registered seating 172, indicating a short- to medium-haul passenger mission profile optimized for capacity. With a cruise speed of 445 kts and a range of 2,050 nm, typical operations would center on point-to-point regional and domestic services requiring efficient seat-mile economics rather than long-range nonstop capability. Based on the registered owner information and US registration, maintenance and operational oversight are consistent with corporate or commercial operator practices in the United States. Specific avionics fit, interior amenities, and recent maintenance status are not published in the supplied data.

This individual MD-82 reflects the MD-80 family’s emphasis on dense, medium-range passenger carriage, as evidenced by the high-density 172-seat cabin and the pair of JT8D powerplants rated at 20,890 lbf each. Its performance envelope—cruising at 445 kts to a service ceiling of 37,000 ft and a range of 2,050 nm—aligns it with operators prioritizing regional trunk routes and high-capacity deployments. Buyer and charter demand, as well as maintenance and resale considerations for this airframe, would hinge on its age (built 1989), serial 49797, and the ongoing supportability of JT8D-series engines and MD-80-series airframes under its current ownership structure.
