N5179A

The airframe bearing tail number N5179A is a Boeing-built freighter completed in 2002 with manufacturer serial number 32614. The airframe is owned by BANK OF UTAH TRUSTEE, a corporate owner based in Salt Lake City, UT, US, and is registered in the US registry. Notable registry actions include its conversion to a Boeing Converted Freighter and continued listing under a corporate trustee; the airframe carries an estimated market valuation of $20,000,000, reflecting its role as a purpose-converted main-deck cargo aeroplane. The aircraft’s status as a freighter and corporate ownership frame its operational lifecycle around cargo missions and lease or finance arrangements rather than passenger airline service.

This airframe is configured in a Boeing Converted Freighter cabin layout: a BCF freighter configuration with main-deck cargo and no passenger seating. Avionics fit is not published in the supplied data, but typical BCF conversions retain transport-category flight decks suitable for medium- to long-haul cargo operations. Typical mission profiles for this airframe center on domestic and regional transcontinental freight routes commensurate with a 3,060 nm range and a cruise speed near 440 kts, operating from the owner’s region around Salt Lake City, UT or other US cargo hubs. Maintenance considerations for this aircraft focus on freighter modifications, main-deck cargo system integrity and CFM56-7B engine lifecycle management under corporate ownership.

The individual airframe is a Boeing 737-83N (BCF) — part of the Next Generation 737 family repurposed for main-deck freight work. In the market, 737-800/83N freighter conversions occupy a niche between smaller commuter freighters and larger widebody cargo jets, offering cost-effective short- to medium-haul payload capability. Competing models include other narrowbody freighter conversions such as A320 family freighters and older 737 Classics in freighter roles. Resale and maintenance considerations for this airframe are strongly influenced by the installed CFM56-7B engines, structural hours accrued since its 2002 build, and the continued demand for narrowbody freighters in e-commerce and integrator networks.
