N5479A

The airframe bearing tail number N5479A is a Boeing 737-83N manufactured by Boeing in 2001, serial number 32578. The aircraft is owned by Amazon Prime Air (operated by Sun Country Airlines), a United States–based corporate operator, and is registered in the US. This airframe has been completed as a Boeing Converted Freighter (BCF) and has no passenger cabin, reflecting its role in dedicated cargo operations; its assessed market value is $10,000,000. Operated for Amazon Prime Air under Sun Country Airlines' operational control, the airplane’s lifecycle highlights a typical conversion and entry into e-commerce-driven freighter service.

This specific Boeing 737-83N (BCF) is configured as a converted freighter with no passenger cabin, outfitted internally for palletized and containerized cargo rather than passenger accommodation. Typical mission profiles for this airframe center on medium-range, high-frequency e-commerce and overnight express routes within North America and transcontinental sectors that fit its 3,115 nm range and 444-knot cruise speed. As an aircraft operated by Sun Country Airlines on behalf of Amazon Prime Air, maintenance and operational scheduling are aligned to tight logistics timetables, prioritizing quick turnaround and robust freighter systems inspections associated with high-utilization cargo work. Avionics fit is consistent with the 737-800 family baseline as modified through conversion programs; specific avionics fitment for this serial is not separately published.

The Boeing 737-800 family, represented here by the Boeing 737-83N (BCF) conversion, occupies a niche for short-to-medium-haul narrowbody freighter operations where throughput and frequency trump very long range. Competing types in the converted narrowbody freighter market include older 737-700/-800 conversions and Airbus A320-family freighter options for similar missions. Buyer demand for 737-800 BCFs is driven by express cargo customers and integrators; resale and maintenance considerations reflect the airframe’s age (2001), conversion status, and the lifecycle of CFM56-7B engines, all factors that influence remaining economic life and market valuation.
