N482AA

This airframe, registered as N482AA, is a McDonnell Douglas MD-82 built in 1988 with manufacturer's serial number 49675. The airplane is owned by Arctic One LLC, a corporation based in Fairbanks, AK, US, and is registered in the US registry. The airframe has a long-service pedigree consistent with late-1980s MD-80 series examples; valuation and current condition details are Not published. Notable registry details include its US registration and corporate ownership tied to Fairbanks, which inform its operator/home base linkage.

The airframe configured with 172 seats reflects a high-density single-aisle layout typical of MD-82 operators, optimized for short- to medium-haul missions. Avionics and cabin fit can vary by operator; specific fit for this serial is Not published, but MD-82s of this vintage frequently carry legacy analog and retrofit digital avionics suited to charter and scheduled operations. Typical mission profiles for this aircraft type and configuration include domestic trunk routes and regional charter flights up to its published range of 2,050 nm, operating from a base consistent with its ownership in Fairbanks, AK, US. Maintenance considerations for this individual airframe are informed by the age (built 1988) and the JT8D engine series; detailed maintenance status is Not published.

The McDonnell Douglas MD-82 is a member of the MD-80 family, positioned historically as a medium-capacity, short- to medium-range jetliner with a cruise speed of approximately 438 kts and ceiling capability to 37,000 ft. It competed in its era with stretched versions of the Boeing 737 and early Airbus A320 derivatives on dense short-haul sectors. Market demand for late-production MD-80 series airframes like this serial typically centers on specialist charter operators, secondary carriers, and markets valuing rugged, high-density configurations; resale and maintenance considerations emphasize JT8D support and airframe fatigue assessments given the 1988 build year.
