N5683A

This airframe, registered as N5683A, is a Boeing 737-84P(BCF) built by The Boeing Company in 2001 with manufacturer serial number 32601. The aircraft is owned by Amazon Prime Air (operated by Sun Country Airlines) and is listed under United States registration. The airframe has undergone a main-deck freighter conversion to Boeing Converted Freighter (BCF) specification with the passenger cabin removed for cargo operations, reflecting its transition from passenger service to a dedicated cargo role.

The aircraft is configured as a main-deck freighter (BCF) with the passenger cabin removed and modified to accommodate unit load devices and palletized cargo on the main deck. Operated on behalf of Amazon Prime Air by Sun Country Airlines, the airframe is employed in medium- to long-range cargo missions consistent with its conversion, using its cruise speed of 440 kts and range of 2,935 nm to link regional and transcontinental hubs. Typical operations emphasize high-utilization cargo schedules and expedited logistics flows; maintenance considerations follow freighter conversion practices for main-deck cargo doors, reinforced floor structures and cargo handling systems inherent to the BCF modification. The aircraft operates from U.S.-based hubs under U.S. registry.

The Boeing 737-800 derivative in BCF form occupies a niche as a single-aisle main-deck freighter that balances payload capacity with operational economics for parcel and express carriers. With twin CFM56-7B24 engines and a service ceiling of 41,000 ft, the type competes with other narrowbody freighter conversions for short- to medium-haul express cargo markets. Demand from integrators and e-commerce operators has supported a market for converted 737-800s, where maintenance planning centers on airframe hours, cycle life, and the specific requirements introduced by the BCF conversion.
