N549DS

This airframe, registered as N549DS, is a 2024-build Boeing 737-800 with manufacturer serial number 68838. It is owned by BOEING CO (a corporation based in Renton, WA, US) and carries a US registration; the registry lists the aircraft in a high-density configuration of 189 seats. Valued at $50,750,000, the airframe represents a current-production example of the 737 Next Generation family delivered in 2024 and recorded in corporate ownership. The entry on the US registry noting a high-density seating allocation is a notable administrative designation for this specific tail number.

The registry describes this airframe’s cabin as a typical two-class layout at 162 seats, with a high-density single-class certification up to 189 seats; the registry for N549DS lists the aircraft at the maximum 189-seat configuration. As a 737-800, its operational mission profile is short- to medium-haul trunk and high-frequency point-to-point services, capable of cruise speeds near 455 kts and ranges around 3,060 nm. Owned by BOEING CO in Renton, WA, the airframe is likely maintained to factory or corporate standards under Boeing stewardship; specific avionics fit and operator-tailored amenities for this serial are not published in the supplied data. Maintenance considerations reflect standard 737-800 practices for the CFM56-7B engine type and the airframe’s high-utilization potential implied by a high-density seating registry.

The Boeing 737-800 sits in the narrow-body single-aisle market as a workhorse for short- and medium-range operations, competing historically with variants of the Airbus A320 family. With two CFM56-7B engines rated at 27,300 lbf each, it balances fuel efficiency and reliability for high-cycle operators. At a carrying capacity of up to 189 passengers and a valuation of $50,750,000, resale and charter demand hinge on configuration, maintenance history, and remaining structural life; corporate ownership by BOEING CO suggests the airframe may be used for fleet support, demonstration, or transferred under commercial disposition consistent with market conditions.
